On January 24, 2017, this Court’s Order dismissed as moot the appellants’ pro se
motion to remove their attorney because it was not filed by their counsel. Thus,
appellants’ agreed motion for counsel to withdraw as attorney of record is granted
because it complies with Rule 6.5. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(a), (b), 10.1(a)(5), 10.3(a).
Accordingly, the Clerk of this Court is directed to remove Sharon Hemphill as counsel
for appellants. Ms. Hemphill is ordered to comply with her notification obligations to
appellants under Rule 6.5(c) by filing a notice with the Clerk of this Court within ten
days of this order. See id. 6.5(c), 34.6(b)(1), 35.3(b)(2)–(3), 38.6(a). The Clerk of this
Court has requested the indigent clerk’s record from the district clerk.
