_______________________________________________________               ______________

                    On Appeal from the 128th District Court
                           Orange County, Texas
                         Trial Cause No. A160313-R

                                       ORDER

      Counsel of record for Ralph Eugene Bridwell filed a motion for leave to

withdraw as counsel and to order the trial court to appoint new counsel on appeal.

The motion presents good cause to permit counsel to withdraw. Because counsel

was appointed by the trial court, the case must be remanded to that court for

appointment of new counsel.

      It is, therefore, ORDERED that the appeal is abated and the case is remanded

to the trial court for the purpose of appointing new counsel to represent the appellant.

                                           1
All appellate timetables are suspended pending resolution of this matter in the trial

court. A supplemental clerk’s record containing any orders and findings made by the

trial court pursuant to this Order shall be filed with the Court of Appeals by February

9, 2018.

      ORDER ENTERED January 10, 2018.

                                                                 PER CURIAM
