in Re Mark Sullivan

COURT OF APPEALS

SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS

FORT WORTH

NO. 02-12-00377-CV

IN RE MARK SULLIVAN RELATOR

------------

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING ------------

MEMORANDUM OPINION1 ------------

The court has considered relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and is of the opinion that relief should be denied. The relator complains that the respondent trial court has failed to hold a hearing on his pro se application for writ of habeas corpus bond reduction, but the trial court clerk has no record of relator filing a habeas application in the 271st District Court of Wise County. Even assuming relator filed a habeas application in the district court, the trial court had no duty to rule on the petition because relator was represented by counsel at that time.2 See Robinson v. State, 240 S.W.3d 919, 922 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007). Accordingly, relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is denied.

PER CURIAM PANEL: GARDNER, MCCOY, and MEIER, JJ.
