ORDER Appellant has filed a motion in this court seeking appointment of counsel to represent her in this appeal from denial of a post-conviction habeas corpus application. A post-conviction habeas corpus applicant is not constitutionally or statutorily entitled to appointment of counsel, although the trial court may appoint counsel when “the interests of justice require representation.” Ex parte Graves, 70 S.W.3d 103, 111 (Tex. Crim. App. 2002); Rincon v. State, No. 04-02-00868-CR, 2003 WL 21919256, at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Aug. 13, 2003, no pet.) (per curiam); see also TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 1.051(c). Therefore, appellant’s motion is DENIED without prejudice to her seeking similar relief in the trial court. Appellant’s brief is currently due on December 6, 2021.
