COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE
                           FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON

                                          ORDER

Appellate case name:        Creative Chateau, LLC v. The City of Houston
Appellate case number:      01-21-00327-CR
Trial court case number:    2019-44108
Trial court:                215th District Court of Harris County
      Appellant, Creative Chateau, LLC, has filed an “Unopposed Motion to Substitute
Counsel,” requesting that Daniel W. Jackson and Daniel Gierut be permitted to withdraw,
and Misty Hataway-Coné be substituted as counsel of record in this appeal. According to
the motion, appellant “approves this substitution and designation[.]” Accordingly, the
motion states that “[u]pon approval of the Court, Appellant designates Misty Hataway-
Coné, and the law firm of Coné PLLC, 1005 Heights Blvd., Houston, Texas, 77008, (713)
955-2729, as lead appellate counsel in this matter.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(d).
       The motion does not confirm that “the withdrawing attorney” complied with the
delivery requirements set forth in Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.5. Specifically, the
motion does not confirm that Jackson or Gierut, as the withdrawing attorneys, “delivered
[the motion] to [appellant] in person or [by] mail[].” See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(d). Because
the motion fails to comply with the requirements of rule 6.5(d), the motion is denied.
However, nothing in this order prevents appellant from filing a renewed request for
substitution of counsel in compliance with the Texas Rules of Appellant Procedure.
       It is so ORDERED.
