The trial court shall forward its order of appointment and the certification to the District Clerk of McLennan County, Texas, on or before February 15, 2022. The District Clerk shall prepare and forward a supplemental clerk's record containing the appointment and certification of defendant's right of appeal and forward the same to this Court on or before February 25, 2022. The appellant's brief shall be due thirty days from the date the supplemental clerk's record is filed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
