    TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
    No. 10-14-00134-CR
    MICHAEL DAVID FREDRICKSON,
    Appellant
    v.
    THE STATE OF TEXAS,
    Appellee
    From the 21st District Court
    Burleson County, Texas
    Trial Court No. 14,371
    ORDER
    Michael David Fredrickson was convicted of injury to a child and sentenced to 20
    years in prison. TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.04 (West 2011). Fredrickson filed a motion
    to suppress statements and a motion to suppress evidence. After a hearing on both, the
    motion to suppress statements was denied in its entirety and the motion to suppress
    evidence was denied in part. Fredrickson requested findings of fact and conclusions of
    law from the trial court but none have been made a part of the record. A trial judge,
    upon the request of the losing party, must make findings of fact and conclusions of law
    adequate to provide an appellate court a basis for reviewing the ruling's correctness.
    State v. Mendoza, 
    365 S.W.3d 666
    , 670 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012); State v. Cullen, 
    195 S.W.3d 696
    , 698-99 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).
    Accordingly, this appeal is abated to the trial court to make findings of fact and
    conclusions of law regarding Fredrickson’s motion to suppress evidence and motion to
    suppress statements, both heard and ruled on by the trial court on February 24, 2014.
    The trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law must be prepared, signed, and
    filed as a supplemental clerk’s record with this Court within 28 days from the date of
    this Order.
