        Appellant’s appointed counsel, David L. Garza, has filed a motion to withdraw and the

to act as appellant’s counsel, retained attorney Peyton Z. Peeples has filed “Appellant’s Response to

or present this court with authority permitting a retained attorney to file a response to an Anders brief.
The motion or response are due within 10 days of the date of this order.
        It is so ORDERED.
