        Trial Court No:    F-1476506-T
        Appellate Court No: 05-15-01020-CR

        Motion to Abate Appeal

Dear Ms. Matz,

        On September 21, 2015, the trial court granted Appellant’s motion for new trial.
Please consider this a motion to abate Appellant’s appeal until the time for the State to appeal
the trial court’s motion has expired. At that time, Appellant can dismiss his appeal, if
appropriate.

        The trial court’s docket sheet entry is enclosed for your convenience.


                                                                        Respectfully submitted,
