TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS OF TEXAS:
- Justice Russell Lloyd, Justice Evelyn Keyes, and Justice Michael Massengale, presiding.

       INTO COURT COMES, ERIC LYNN BAUMGART, the Appellant, through the

undersigned Attorney and files this Motion for a Rehearing pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 49.1 and

would respectfully show the Court as follows:

1.     Thomas J. Lewis was previously appointed by the Trial Court to represent Appellant in

these causes. Appellant no longer desires to be represented by Thomas J. Lewis.

2.     Michael D. Gillespie has been employed to represent Eric Lynn Baumgart in these

causes. Eric Lynn Baumgart approves this substitution, as evidenced by his signature on this

motion. This Motion is not brought for delay, but to allow Appellant to be represented by

counsel of choice.

3.     Wherefore, premises considered, Eric Lynn Baumgart prays that the Court enter an order

allowing Thomas J. Lewis to withdraw from representing Appellant and to substitute Michael D.

Gillespie as attorney of record in these causes.

                                                   Respectfully submitted by:
