Citation: Not availableDocket: 07-07-00119-CR
Court: Court of Appeals of Texas; September 26, 2007; Texas; State Appellate Court
Original Court Document: View Document
The State of Texas appeals a trial court ruling that granted Juan Manuel Ramirez's motion to suppress evidence. Within twenty days of the ruling, the State requested findings of fact and conclusions of law, which the trial court failed to provide. Under Texas law, specifically referenced in State v. Cullen, the trial court is required to issue findings and conclusions upon request to facilitate appellate review. Consequently, the appeal is abated and remanded to the County Court at Law No. 1 of Potter County for the trial court to issue the necessary findings and conclusions. The trial court must submit a supplemental clerk's record containing this information within twenty days of the remand order. If the trial court requires additional time, it must request an extension by the same deadline. Upon receipt of the supplemental record, the case will be submitted for review based on the briefs within twenty-one days, allowing the appellee to file a brief within that timeframe. The order concludes with instructions to ensure the diligent pursuit of the appeal, including potential appointment of an attorney if the appellant is indigent, and the preparation of necessary records.
