THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee From the 81st Judicial District Court, La Salle County, Texas Trial Court No. 11-09-00041-CRL Honorable Donna S. Rayes, Judge Presiding ORDER On July 21, 2015, appellant filed a pro se motion to suspend electronic filing and a pro se reply brief, asserting appointed counsel had abandoned the appeal.

Therefore, appellant’s pro se motion and reply brief are STRICKEN and will not be considered by the court. It is so ORDERED on the 27th day of July, 2015.
