IN RE Eric L. WILLRICH
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Original Mandamus Proceeding PER CURIAM Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2019CR11728A, styled The State of Texas v. Eric L. Willrich, pending in the 399th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Frank J. Castro presiding.
On December 17, 2020, Relator Eric L. Willrich filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus in which he asserts the trial court has failed to view and rule on several "motions and writs sent in by [him] and [his] attorney, and is keeping him in involuntary servitude against his liberty." Willrich is represented by trial counsel in the underlying proceeding; therefore, he is not entitled to hybrid representation. Patrick v. State, 906 S.W.2d 481, 498 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); see also In re West, No. 04-20-00105-CR, 2020 WL 907571, at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Feb. 26, 2020, orig. proceeding) (not designated for publication). The absence of a right to hybrid representation means Willrich's pro se mandamus petition will be treated as presenting nothing for this court's review. See id.; In re West, 2020 WL 907571, at *1. Accordingly, Willrich's petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
