                                   Abraham Kulor, Appellant

                                                 v.

                                  The State of Texas, Appellee

               FROM THE 299TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
       NO. D-1-DC-21-301973, THE HONORABLE KAREN SAGE, JUDGE PRESIDING

                 ORDER AND MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

               Appellant’s brief was due on February 9, 2024. On March 14, 2024, appellant’s

appointed counsel filed a motion informing the Court that he is “over-extended in his case-load”

and unable to file a timely brief and asking that we abate the briefing schedule in this case and

remand the proceeding to the trial court for the appointment of substitute counsel. Counsel states

that appellant has not given notice that he wishes to abandon the appeal.

               We grant the motion, abate the appeal, and remand the matter to the trial court so

that it may appoint substitute counsel to represent appellant in this appeal. In addition, the trial

court shall order that a supplemental clerk’s record containing the appointment order be prepared

and forwarded to this Court no later than May 13, 2024.

               It is so ordered on April 12, 2024.
