                                           ORDER
       The Court has before it the November 9, 2015 motion of Craig Price to withdraw as

appellant’s counsel. Mr. Price states that he has accepted a job with the Grayson County District

Attorney’s Office and can no longer represent appellant on this case. The case is set for

submission without argument on December 9, 2015. We GRANT the motion and DIRECT the

Clerk to remove Craig Price as appellant’s appointed attorney of record.

       We ORDER the trial court to appoint new counsel to represent appellant on this appeal

and to transmit the order appointing new counsel to this Court by NOVEMBER 16, 2015.

       We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Benjamin Smith,

Presiding Judge, 380th Judicial District Court; Craig Price; and Andrea Westerfeld.
       We ABATE the appeal to allow the trial court to comply with this order. We will

reinstate the appeal on November 16, 2015 or when the order appointing counsel is received.
