Darryn Burgess v. State

Fourth Court of Appeals

San Antonio, Texas

December 8, 2016

No. 04-16-00009-CR

Darryn BURGESS,

Appellant v.

The STATE of Texas,

Appellee

From the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2014CR0646

Honorable Lori I. Valenzuela, Judge Presiding

ORDER

Appellant has filed a pro se supplemental appellant’s brief in this court. The record reflects that appellant is represented by appointed counsel on appeal. In Texas, appellants do not have a right to hybrid or dual representation. See Rudd v. State, 616 S.W.2d 623, 625 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1981) (criminal defendant has no right to represent himself pro se and be represented by an attorney at the same time); see also Castillo v. State, No. 04-04-00169-CR, 2005 WL 357155, at *2 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Feb. 16, 2005, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication). Therefore, the pro se supplemental appellant’s brief is STRICKEN.
