Ex parte Thomas Aven Cole
ORDER Trial court case number: 2005582 Trial court: County Criminal Court at Law No. 10 of Harris County
On March 18, 2015, attorney Wendell A. Odom filed Appellant's Motion to Substitute as Attorney of Record. The motion is not in compliance with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure because it was not delivered to Thomas Aven Cole. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(b), (d). Therefore, the motion is DENIED, without prejudice to refiling.
Likewise the Motion to Dismiss Appeal filed by appellant is DENIED, without prejudice to refiling. We note that the motion filed did not contain a physical signature by Cole, which is required by Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a). Should any motion to dismiss be refiled, it should be compliant with the rules.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Harvey Brown
