Because the respondent has not filed a response in accordance with the Court’s requests, the Court is referring this matter to the State Bar of Texas Appellate Section’s Pro Bono Committee to locate a volunteer lawyer to serve as an Amicus Attorney for the purpose of defending the court of appeals’ judgment. The attorney’s duties would consist of submitting briefing pursuant to the briefing schedule set by the Court and participating in oral argument if the petition is granted. Please inform us when you are able to locate an attorney to serve in this role, at which point we will issue an order appointing the attorney and setting briefing deadlines."
