                                    The STATE of Texas,
                                          Appellee

                  From the 144th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                Trial Court No. 2011CR2070
                            Honorable Pat Priest, Judge Presiding

                                        ORDER
        On March 10, 2015, attorney Kristen Jernigan moved to substitute herself as retained
counsel of record in lieu of court-appointed counsel David McLane. The motion failed to
indicate that the motion had been delivered to Appellant as required. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(b),
(d).
         On March 11, 2015, Ms. Jernigan filed an amended motion for substitution of counsel
that states she delivered a copy of the motion to Appellant by certified mail. See id. R. 6.5(b).
       The March 10, 2015 motion is DENIED; the March 11, 2015 motion is GRANTED.
       We DIRECT the clerk of this court to update this court’s records to show Appellant’s
new attorney of record in this appeal.
