         The Court has granted appellant’s motion to reschedule oral argument. Oral
argument will be heard on January 12, 2015, at 1:30 p.m. Also pending is
appellant’s amended motion to substitute counsel. We ORDER counsel to deliver
a copy of the motion to appellant in person or by both certified and first-class mail,

to certify to this Court compliance with the rule within ten days of the date of this
order.
      In addition, the Court requests additional briefing to address: (1) whether a
showing of bad faith is required in this case under McGee v. State, 671 S.W.2d
892, 895 (Tex. Crim. App. 1984), and Wood v. State, 577 S.W.2d 477, 480 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1978); and (2) if so, whether there is sufficient evidence of bad faith to
support appellant’s conviction. Additional briefing, which may be in letter form, is
due on or before December 15, 2014.
