Weylin W. Alford v. The State of Texas
ORDER Trial court case number: 1450840 Trial court: 177th District Court of Harris County
Counsel for appellant, Weylin W. Alford, has filed a "Motion to Substitute Counsel of Record," representing that Mark Kratovil of the Harris County Public Defender's Office was appointed to represent appellant on appeal, and Daucie Schindler of the Harris County Public Defender's Office "is now assigned to this case." Appellant requests that this Court "substitute[e] Daucie Schindler as part of the Harris County Public Defender's Office as attorney of record in this case." We construe the motion as a notice of appearance and grant the motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.2, 9.1.
Accordingly, the Clerk of this Court is directed to note Daucie Schindler, Harris County Public Defender's Office, as counsel for appellant on the docket of this Court. Mark Kratovil remains as appellant's lead counsel until new lead counsel is designated or a motion to withdraw is filed and granted, in compliance with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.1(c) (providing for designation of new lead counsel), 6.5 (providing for withdrawal of attorney from representing party in appellate court).
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Russell Lloyd
