   Zachary Ferguson as trial counsel or whether she was appointed in addition to Mr.

   Ferguson;

   appointment was required under Code of Criminal Procedure Article 1.051(k)(1)–
   (2) and Article 26.04(j)(2) and make findings in support thereof, or (2) whether her

   appointment was required under Article 26.04(k) and make a finding in support

   thereof; and

• Make any additional findings as necessary, such as who requested the substitution

   or addition.
