                                       January 17, 2024

                                     No. 04-22-00669-CR

                                    Arnoldo A. ALMEIDA,
                                          Appellant

                                               v.

                                     The STATE of Texas,
                                           Appellee

                  From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                Trial Court No. 2021CR7294
                      Honorable Catherine Torres-Stahl, Judge Presiding

                                            ORDER

       Court-appointed counsel filed an Anders brief and a motion to withdraw. Because there is
an arguable ground for appeal, we GRANT Vincent D. Callahan’s motion to withdraw.

       We WITHDRAW our May 3, 2023 submission date, ABATE this appeal, and REMAND
the cause.

       We ORDER the trial court to (1) appoint a different attorney to represent Appellant on
appeal and (2) notify this court of the appointment by March 2, 2024.

       If Appellant wishes to prosecute this appeal, new appellate counsel must file a brief that
addresses the issue we have identified and any other arguable grounds for appeal.

       Appellant’s brief is due THIRTY DAYS after the trial court’s order appoints new counsel.

       It is so ORDERED on January 17, 2024.

                                                _____________________________
                                                Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 17th day of January, 2024.
