                             THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                      On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 2
                                   Dallas County, Texas
                            Trial Court Cause No. F17-70898-I

                                            ORDER
       Appellant timely filed his notice of appeal in the trial court on June 8, 2018. On
September 27, 2018, counsel Dianne Jones McVay filed a motion to withdraw as counsel. In the
motion, Ms. McVay states she has recently taken a job as senior counsel with a corporation and
needs to withdraw.    We GRANT the September 27th motion of Dianne Jones McVay to
withdraw as counsel and DIRECT the Clerk to remove Dianne Jones McVay as appellant’s
attorney of record.
       Because the trial court previously found appellant was indigent, we ORDER the trial
court to appoint new counsel in this appeal and to transmit a copy of the order appointing new
counsel within FIFTEEN DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS ORDER.
       The record is due October 6, 2018.
