in Re Christopher T. Brady ( 2018 )

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-18-00451-CR
IN RE Christopher T. BRADY
Original Mandamus Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 18, 2018
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
On July 5, 2018, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which it appears relator is
asserting he has been detained in jail in violation of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure article
17.151 (“Release because of delay”). Relator asks that he be released from confinement. Relator
is represented by court-appointed trial counsel below; therefore, his pro se mandamus petition
presents nothing for this court’s review because a criminal defendant is not entitled to hybrid
representation. See Patrick v. State, 906 S.W.2d 481, 498 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995). Accordingly,
the petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
