An Original Proceeding for Habeas Corpus.

Before Panel No. 4, BARAJAS, C.J., LARSEN, and McCLURE, JJ.

OPINION

ANN CRAWFORD McCLURE, Justice.

Esther Drusina Hinson has filed an application for writ of habeas corpus, claiming that she is illegally confined in the El Paso County Jail. The application does not comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure in numerous respects, including the failure to provide a record that demonstrates her entitlement to relief. See Tex.R.App.P. 52.7(a). It also appears from the application that Hinson is represented by counsel in the trial court. There is no right to hybrid representation in Texas. See Gray v. Shipley, 877 S.W.2d 806, 806 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, orig. proceeding); Rudd v. State, 616 S.W.2d 623, 625 (Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1981). Accordingly, the application for writ of habeas corpus is denied.

JUDGMENT

The court has considered this cause on Relator's application for writ of habeas corpus and concludes that Relator's application for writ of habeas corpus should be denied. We therefore deny the application for writ of habeas corpus, in accordance with the opinion of this court. IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 1ST DAY OF JULY, 2004.
