The petition for writ of mandamus filed by John Henry Boykin seeks to compel his appellate attorney to file a motion to withdraw and also seeks to compel the trial court to hold a hearing on whether Boykin should be permitted to represent himself in Appeal No. 09-06-265 CR. Contrary to the allegation in the mandamus petition, Boykin's appellate counsel did file a motion to withdraw. On March 22, 2007, we abated Boykin's appeal and remanded the case to the trial court for a hearing on counsel's motion to withdraw and to admonish Boykin regarding self-representation. Boykin has an adequate remedy through the normal appellate process. See generally In re State ex rel. De Leon, 89 S.W.3d 195, 196-97 (Tex. App.--Corpus Christi 2002) (orig. proceeding). The petition for writ of mandamus, filed March 20, 2007, is denied.

WRIT DENIED.
