Claudia CORTEZ,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the County Court at Law No. 13, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 446387
The Honorable Monica A. Gonzalez, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On October 14, 2015, this court issued its opinion and judgment in this appeal. On
October 19, 2015, Appellant’s counsel Royal K. Griffin filed a motion to withdraw as
Appellant’s attorney. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5.
The motion (1) lists the date for the current deadline in the case, (2) states Appellant’s
last known address and telephone number, (3) certifies that Appellant was served with the
motion to withdraw as required, and (4) contains a statement that Appellant was notified in
writing of the right to object to the motion to withdraw. See id. 6.5(a), (b); Rivera v. State, 130
S.W.3d 454, 458 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2004, no pet.).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
We respectfully remind counsel of his remaining obligation to Appellant and this court.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(c) (“[T]he withdrawing attorney must immediately notify [Appellant], in
writing, of any deadlines or settings that the attorney knows about at the time of withdrawal but
that were not previously disclosed to [Appellant]. The withdrawing attorney must file a copy of
that notice with the court clerk.”).
