Defender’s Office as new lead counsel for appellant. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.1(c). The
Clerk of this Court is directed to note Cheri Duncan as appointed counsel for appellant on
the docket of this Court. See id. 6.1(c), 6.3.

       Appellant’s brief is due to be filed in these appeals no later than 30 days from the
date of this order.

       It is so ORDERED.
