PER CURIAM
Shawn Danene Harty filed her notice of appeal January 22, 2015, and her brief was
originally due April 6, 2016. Harty’s appointed counsel Harley Martin failed to file the brief after
receiving multiple extensions of time totaling 113 days, after an abatement for the district court’s
determination of whether Martin had abandoned this appeal, after being ordered to file appellant’s
brief no later than November 22, 2016, and after a show cause hearing held February 1, 2017.
The appeal is abated. We remand this cause to the district court with instructions to
appoint new counsel for Harty by February 24, 2017. The district court shall order the appropriate
supplemental clerk’s record to be prepared and filed with this Court no later than March 17, 2017.
See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(3).
It is ordered on February 2, 2017.
