TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-09-00557-CR In re Bill Lawhorn, Jr.

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 167TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 101,618, HONORABLE MICHAEL LYNCH, JUDGE PRESIDING

O R D E R

PER CURIAM

Appellant's appointed counsel on appeal has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel. This Court may not grant the motion because the effect would be to leave the indigent appellant without counsel. Therefore, the motion is dismissed and counsel is instructed to refile his motion in the district court. That court may grant or deny the motion at its discretion. If counsel is permitted to withdraw, the court shall immediately appoint substitute counsel.

The motion for extension of time to file appellant's brief is granted. Appellant's brief on appeal shall be filed on or before March 5, 2010, subject to further extension by this Court.

It is ordered February 4, 2010.

Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Pemberton and Waldrop
