Tex. R. App. P. 6.4
Nonrepresentation Notice
(a) In General. If, in accordance with paragraph
6.3(b), the lead counsel in the trial court is
being sent notices, copies of documents, or
other communications, that attorney may file
a nonrepresentation notice in the appellate
court. The notice must:
(1) state that the attorney is not representing
the party on appeal;
(2) state that the court and other counsel
should communicate directly with the
party in the future;
(3) give the party’s name and last known
address and telephone number; and
(4) be signed by the party.
(b) Appointed Counsel. In a criminal case, an
attorney appointed by the trial court to
represent an indigent party cannot file a
nonrepresentation notice.
(c) Withdrawal of Non- Lead Counsel. If an
attorney other than lead counsel will no
longer represent a party, but lead counsel will
continue to represent the party, the non- lead
counsel should file a nonrepresentation
notice. The notice should state that non- lead
counsel will no longer represent the client
and identify counsel who will continue to
represent the party.
