            This court has recently become aware that appellant’s court-appointed attorney of record, Timothy D. Yeats, is currently the judge of the 118th District Court of Texas and can no longer represent appellant in this appeal.  Consequently, new appellate counsel must be appointed.  The trial court is directed to appoint new counsel to represent appellant, and the trial court clerk is instructed to file in this court a supplemental clerk’s record evidencing such appointment on or before August 15, 2011.

            The appeal is abated.
