MARISSA ANN GONZALES                 §
    Appellee                         §      AUSTIN, TEXAS

               MOTION FOR SUBSTITUTION OF COUNSEL

      Marissa A. Maggio (f/k/a Marissa Ann Gonzales), Appellee, requests the

Court's permission to substitute counsel for this appeal, and would show as

follows:

                               INTRODUCTION

      1.    Appellant is Nash Jesus Gonzales and Gonzales & Gonzales, PC.

Appellee is Marissa A. Maggio (f/k/a Marissa Ann Gonzales).

      2.    Michael Burnett is currently lead counsel for Appellee.

      3.    Appellee and Michael Burnett request that C. Wilson Shirley III,

Jessica M. Hall and the firm of SAVRICK, SCHUMANN, JOHNSON, MCGARR,

KAMINSKI & SHIRLEY, LLP, be substituted in as counsel for this appeal.

      4.    Appellants' counsel agrees with this Motion to Substitute.

      5.    Appellee consents to this Motion as reflected by her signature below.
                      ARGUMENTS AND AUTHORITY

      6.     The Court may substitute C. Wilson Shirley III, Jessica M. Hall and

the firm of SAVRICK, SCHUMANN, JOHNSON, McGARR, KAMINSKI & SHIRLEY, LLC

for Michael Burnett as lead counsel in this appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5.

      7.     Substitution of counsel is necessary because Michael Burnett recently

announced he is changing law firms. The new law firm where Michael Burnett

will be working has a conflict of interest in this case in that the new law firm

previously represented Appellant Nash Jesus Gonzales. Such a conflict prohibits

Michael Burnett from continuing his representation of Appellee.

      8.    The necessary information for Appellee's new counsel is as follows:
