ORDER AND MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM Appellant’s brief was filed on January 21, 2022. Appellant’s appointed attorney has since filed a motion asking us to abate the appeal so that new counsel can be appointed, explaining that she has accepted employment with the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office.

We grant the motion, abate the appeal, and remand the matter to the trial court so that it may appoint substitute counsel to represent appellant in this appeal. In addition, the trial court shall order that a supplemental clerk’s record containing the appointment order be prepared and forwarded to this Court no later than April 4, 2022.

It is so ordered March 3, 2022.
