See TEX. R. APP. 38.8(b)(2). On July 27, 2015, Garcia’s retained counsel filed a motion to
substitute and a motion for extension of time to file the reporter’s record. The motion to
substitute was granted on August 4, 2015 and an extension was granted until September 23, 2015
to file the reporter’s record. On October 8, 2015, the court reporter advised this Court that
