Appellant Cecilio Caldera, Jr.'s brief was due July 5, 2010. The brief has not been received and Caldera's appointed attorney, Rosemary Rose, did not respond to this Court's notice that the brief is overdue.
The appeal is abated. The trial court shall conduct a hearing to determine whether Caldera desires to prosecute this appeal and whether appointed counsel has abandoned the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(2); see also In re T.V., 8 S.W.3d 448, 449-50 (Tex. App.-Waco 1999, no pet.) (applying Rule 38.8(b) to suit involving termination of parental rights). The court shall make appropriate findings and recommendations. A record from this hearing, including copies of all findings and orders and a transcription of the court reporter's notes, shall be forwarded to the Clerk of this Court for filing as a supplemental record no later than December 6, 2010.
