Jimmy VERA, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 187th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2014CR5369
Honorable Raymond Angelini, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Appellant is represented on appeal by Mr. Pat Montgomery. Mr. Montgomery filed an appellant's brief waiving oral arguments. On April 25, 2016, appellant filed a pro se letter asking this court to grant oral arguments in his appeal. In Texas, appellants do not have the right to hybrid representation. See Patrick v. State, 906 S.W.2d 481, 498 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995). The absence of a right to hybrid representation means appellant's pro se motion will be treated as presenting nothing for this court's consideration. Id.
Accordingly, the motion is DENIED, and appellant is encouraged to refrain from filing further pro se motions.
