Appellant’s motion for a 45-day extension of time to file a motion for rehearing is
granted, in part, until August 15, 2015, because he retained new counsel on July 3,
2015, and needs time to obtain evidence via his open records request sent on July 7,
2015, to the State, but no further extensions will be granted absent extraordinary
circumstances given this is an accelerated appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 49.4. The
Clerk of this Court is directed to note Andre D. Evans’ appearance as additional
counsel for appellant. See id. at 6.2. If counsel Lott J. Brooks III, requests withdrawal,
