IN RE ADALBERTO RAMOS, Relator


Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, Adalberto Ramos, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking that we direct the Honorable Chuck Silverman to rule on relator's motion for a speedy trial and to set aside the indictment. Relator contends that he filed the motion for a speedy trial on September 3, 2020, but he does not state when he filed the motion to set aside the indictment. Relator also asks that we permit him to file this pro se petition even though he is represented in the trial court by appointed counsel.

The underlying case is The State of Texas v. Adalberto Ramos, cause number1650623, pending in the 183rd District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Vanessa Velasquez presiding. --------

Relator is not entitled to hybrid representation. See Rudd v. State, 616 S.W.2d 623, 625 (Tex. Crim. App. 1981) (person represented by counsel not entitled to hybrid representation); In re Burgess, No. 05-17-01226-CR, 2017 WL 5559606, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Nov. 14, 2017, orig. proceeding) (denying mandamus on ground that pro se relator not entitled to hybrid representation); Gray v. Tyra, 01-94-00316-CR, 1994 WL 149583, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Apr. 21, 1994, orig. proceeding) (same).

Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.
