       Melinda K. Lackey has filed Appellant’s Motion to Substitute Counsel on behalf of
appellant, Russell Reed Johnson, in this matter. The motion does not meet the requirements of
Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.5 and is denied.1 However, we will treat Appellant’s
Motion to Substitute Counsel as a Notice of Appearance under Rule 6.2.

       Further, we grant Appellant’s Motion for Extension of Time to File Motion for
Rehearing. Appellant’s motion for rehearing, if any, is ordered to be filed no later than January
20, 2014.


         It is so ORDERED.
