Bryce Darec Clark v. State

Opinion

Order entered March 8, 2019

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00944-CR

BRYCE DAREC CLARK, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 219th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 219-83633-2017

ORDER Before the Court is appellant’s March 6, 2019 second motion to extend the time to file

appellant’s brief. In the motion, attorney Kristin R. Brown states that she “was only recently

appointed to replace previous appellate counsel” in this appeal. Our records reflect Mitchell R.

Nolte is appellant’s counsel of record.

No motion to withdraw or motion to substitute counsel has been filed in this appeal. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5. Until such a motion is filed and granted by this Court, Kristin R. Brown is

not authorized to represent appellant. Accordingly, we DENY the motion.

We ORDER appellant to file either a motion to substitute counsel or else his appellate

brief within FOURTEEN DAYS of the date of this order. If appellant does not comply with this order, the appeal will be abated for a hearing in the trial court regarding appellant’s

representation.

We DIRECT the Clerk to transmit copies of this order to Mitchell R. Nolte, Kristin R.

Brown, and counsel for the State.
