TO THE SIXTH COURT OF APPEALS:
Now comes Brandon Beck and, pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.5(d),
files this Motion to Withdraw and to Substitute Counsel. There is good cause for this Court to
grant the Motion to Withdraw because Brandon Beck is departing from his firm and moving to
1
Lubbock, Texas, where he has accepted a position that prohibits him from engaging in the
private practice of law. Laura Severt will be substituted as lead counsel for Appellants. Her
information is as follows:

Both Appellants approve the withdrawal and substitution, which are not being done to
delay this case.
