IN RE Justin SOWERS


MEMORANDUM OPINION

Original Proceeding PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS DENIED

This proceeding arises out of Cause Nos. 2018CR07490, etc., styled The State of Texas v. Jason Sowers, pending in the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Lori I. Valenzuela presiding.

Relator filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus raising several complaints about his underlying criminal cases. Relator is represented by court-appointed trial counsel below; therefore, he is not entitled to hybrid representation. Patrick v. State, 906 S.W.2d 481, 498 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995). The absence of a right to hybrid representation means relator's pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus will be treated as presenting nothing for this court's review. See id.; see also Gray v. Shipley, 877 S.W.2d 806, 806 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, relator's petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
