ORDER
Appellant's brief was due July 8, 2013, but it has not been filed. Appellant has been represented by court-appointed appellate counsel, Judith Wemmert. On July 16, 2013, this court ordered that Judith Wemmert be suspended from handling appeals in this court for a period of six months and ordered her removed as counsel of record in this appeal. See In re Judith Wemmert, Nos. 04-12-00451-CR & 04-12-00452-CR (Tex. App.—San Antonio, July 16, 2013) (order) (ancillary to appeal numbers 04-12-00451-CR and 04-12-00452-CR, styled Hector Augusto Gramajo v. The State of Texas).
We therefore abate this appeal and remand the cause to the trial court. We order the trial court to appoint new counsel to represent Nicholas Aranda in this appeal and to forward a copy of the order to this court by July 25, 2013.
