Re: Attorney Incorrectly Noted on Case for Appellant Court of Appeals Number: 15-25-00073-CV Trial Court Case Number: 2025-126-6 In the Matter of the Marriage of Mary Elaine Doll and Jay Brock

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am currently listed as the attorney for the Appellant Jay Brock, but I have not been retained by Appellant in this appeal. This appeal was filed pro se by Appellant before I was hired at the trial court level. My contract indicates that I am only retained for trial court proceedings. I filed a motion for new trial, which was denied by the trial court in a hearing on May 21, 2025. I have attached the trial court’s order, which includes a paragraph releasing the attorneys of record. Appellant has not hired me for the appeal, and I have not filed an appearance in the appeal.

I respectfully ask that my name be removed from this appeal and that the court’s records be updated to reflect that my former client, Appellant Jay Brock, is pro se in this matter. If the Court would prefer that I file a motion to withdraw or other filing, I will certainly follow the Court’s instructions.

Please do not hesitate to contact our office at 254-717-8600 or family@callahankinglaw.com with any questions about this request. I am providing a copy of this letter to both Appellant and Appellee.

Sincerely,

W. Cody Stapp SBN: 24081162 Attorney at Law
