This appellate decision concerns two criminal appeals from Carlos Vigil. The appellate court noted that neither the clerk's record nor the reporter's records were filed, and appellant's counsel sought to withdraw, citing non-employment and appellant's affidavit of indigence. The court abated the appeals and remanded the causes to the trial court to determine if Vigil wished to prosecute the appeals, his indigence, and his entitlement to a free appellate record and appointed counsel. Additionally, the decision addresses issues related to Lee Lewis Construction, Inc. (LLC) and KK Glass in a separate but consolidated aspect of the case, concerning a death case (Jimmy Harrison). The court found legally and factually sufficient evidence for gross negligence against LLC but deemed the $500,000 compensatory damages for pain and mental anguish factually insufficient, suggesting a remittitur to $50,000. The summary judgment granted to KK Glass, denying LLC's claims for contribution and indemnity, was affirmed.
