NO. 07-12-0109-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT AMARILLO PANEL B MAY 2, 2012 _____________________________ SILVERIO DELGADO-GUTIERREZ, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee _____________________________ FROM THE 242nd DISTRICT COURT OF HALE COUNTY; NO. B18797-1104; HONORABLE EDWARD SELF, PRESIDING _____________________________ ABATEMENT AND REMAND _____________________________ Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ. Pending before the court is an appeal by Silverio Delgado-Gutierrez. He was convicted of arson and sentenced to a probated term of five years imprisonment. There appears some suggestion that appellant has absconded and remains at large despite his conviction and sentence. In response to this Court s letter dated April 17, 2012, asking appellant to certify that payment or arrangements to pay for the clerk s and reporter s records have been made, counsel for appellant moved to withdraw because he was unaware of his client s location, despite diligent efforts to contact appellant. Accordingly, we abate the appeal and remand the cause to the trial court. The trial court is ordered to convene a hearing, upon reasonable notice, to determine whether 1) appellant desires to prosecute this appeal, 2) appellant is indigent and, therefore, entitled to a free record and appointed counsel on appeal, and 3) appellant has absconded from the jurisdiction of this State. The argument and evidence, if any, presented at the hearing will be transcribed into a supplemental reporter s record, which record the trial court will cause to be filed with the clerk of this court by June 1, 2012. The trial court may also execute any written findings of fact and conclusions of law which it may deem relevant to the matter. If such written findings and conclusions are created, they shall be included in a supplemental clerk s record which the trial court will cause to be filed with the clerk of this court by June 1, 2012. Should further time be needed to complete the foregoing tasks, same must be requested before June 1, 2012. It is so ordered. Per Curiam Do not publish. 2
