The motion does not indicate that appellant’s counsel, Glenn Youngblood, seeks to withdraw from representing
appellant. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5. Additionally, the motion does not show that it was delivered to appellant
“in person or mailed—both by certified and by first-class mail” to appellant at his last known address. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(b), (d). Accordingly, we deny the motion to substitute counsel.
