How the opinion begins
OPINION ONION, Presiding Judge.
Appellant was convicted by a jury for aggravated sexual abuse of a child. The jury assessed punishment at imprisonment for ten (10) years.
On May 26, 1976, we abated the appeal and ordered the trial court to conduct a hearing on the question of appellant’s indi-gency vel non. Subsequent to that decision, the trial court found appellant indigent, ordered a free transcription of the court reporter’s notes, and appointed counsel to represent appellant on appeal. The cause is again before us on a supplemental transcript, which contains a transcription of the court reporter’s notes and a “frivolous appeal” brief filed by court-appointed appellate counsel, who was also retained counsel at trial. Therefore, we reinstate the appeal for further consideration.
