ORDER
Before the Court is appellant’s motion to substitute counsel. When an
attorney substitutes for a withdrawing attorney, Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.5(d)
requires the withdrawing attorney to comply with Rule 6.5(b), which provides,
“The motion must be delivered to the party in person or mailed–both by certified
and by first-class mail–to the party at the party’s last known address.” TEX. R.
APP. P. 6.5(b). The motion does not show compliance with Rule 6.5(b).
Accordingly, we DENY the motion to substitute counsel without prejudice to the filing of a motion that complies with Rule 6.5. We DIRECT the Clerk to list
Kristen R. Brown and Meredith Belgooy as counsel of record for appellant. All
future correspondence shall be sent to Ms. Brown and Ms. Belgooey at the
addresses on file with the Court.
The reporter’s record is due FEBRUARY 9, 2023.
