ORDER

On March 10, 2015, attorney Kristen Jernigan moved to substitute herself as retained counsel of record in lieu of court-appointed counsel David McLane. The motion failed to indicate that the motion had been delivered to Appellant as required. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(b), (d).

On March 11, 2015, Ms. Jernigan filed an amended motion for substitution of counsel that states she delivered a copy of the motion to Appellant by certified mail. See id. R. 6.5(b).

The March 10, 2015 motion is DENIED; the March 11, 2015 motion is GRANTED. We DIRECT the clerk of this court to update this court’s records to show Appellant’s new attorney of record in this appeal.
