          The motion does not indicate that appellant’s counsel, James Spencer, seeks to withdraw from representing
          appellant. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5. Additionally, the motion does not show that it was delivered to appellant
          “in person or mailed—both by certified and by first-class mail” at his last known address. See TEX. R. APP. P.
          6.5(b), (d). Accordingly, we deny the motion to substitute counsel.
          By filing this motion, Joel H. Bennett has appeared as counsel of record for appellant. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.2,
          9.1. James Spencer remains as appellant’s lead counsel until new lead counsel is designated or a motion to
          withdraw or substitute counsel that complies with Rule 6.5 is filed and granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.1(c), 6.5.
