Ryan Christopher Wickerham, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY NO. 12-02207-1, THE HONORABLE WILFORD FLOWERS, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Ryan Christopher Wickerham has filed a pro se motion to dismiss this appeal. We grant the motion and dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a).
Appellant appeals, pro se, his conviction for family-violence assault. See Tex. Penal Code § 22.01(a)(1); Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 42.013. The record reflects that appellant chose to represent himself at trial and continues to do so on appeal, despite repeated admonishments from the trial court prior to trial and prior to this appeal of the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation. See U.S. Const. amend. VI, XIV; Tex. Const. art. I, § 10; Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806 (1975).
