       Appellant, Cynthia Willis, has filed an “Agreed Motion for Leave to Withdraw and
Substitute Counsel.” Appellant is currently represented Angela Cameron, who was
appointed to represent appellant by the trial court. However, appellant’s motion states that

Accordingly, appellant requests that Angela Cameron be allowed to withdraw from
representation of appellant on appeal, and that Nicolette Westbrooks be substituted as
counsel on appeal.
       Appellant’s motion does not state that appellant conferred with the State regarding
the requested relief, however, more than ten days have passed, and the State has not
opposed to the relief requested in the motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.3(a)(2). The motion
is granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(b).
      The Clerk of this Court is directed to note the withdrawal of Angela Cameron as
counsel for appellant and substitute Nicolette Westbrooks as counsel for appellant on the
docket of this Court.
       It is so ORDERED.
