Original Proceeding Criminal District Court of Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause Nos. 21-36748 and 21-36749
Before Golemon, C.J., Kreger and Johnson, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
In a petition for a writ of mandamus, Fabbian Donta Scott seeks an order compelling the trial court to rule on motions that Scott filed pro se in two criminal cases. According to the information provided by Scott in the mandamus petition, Scott is represented by counsel in the trial court. "A defendant has no right to hybrid representation, and, as a consequence, a trial court is free to disregard any pro se motions presented by a defendant who is represented by counsel." Jenkins v. State, 592 S.W.3d 894, 902 n. 47 (Tex. Crim. App. 2018). Scott failed to establish that the trial court abused its discretion. Accordingly, we deny the petition for a writ of mandamus.
PETITION DENIED.
