In re Phillip "Baby Shark" Scott
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM COMAL COUNTY.
Before Chief Justice Byrne, Justices Kelly and Theofanis.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Darlene Byrne, Chief Justice.
Relator has filed a document, which we treat as a petition for writ of mandamus, complaining of the trial court's denial of his attempts to waive his right to counsel and represent himself in the underlying criminal proceeding. Having reviewed the petition and the record provided, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See Tex.R.App.P. 52.8(a); see also Osorio-Lopez v. State, 663 S.W.3d 750, 757 (Tex. Crim. App. 2022) ("A defendant must be competent before he can knowingly and intelligently waive his right to counsel and represent himself.").
