Ex Parte Cecil Burley v. the State of Texas

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-25-00559-CR EX PARTE Cecil BURLEY Original Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Irene Rios, Justice Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice Lori Massey Brissette, Justice Delivered and Filed: September 17, 2025 PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS DENIED Relator filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus in which he asks this court to release him from confinement on bond. Relator is represented by trial counsel below; therefore, he is not entitled to hybrid representation. See Patrick v. State, 906 S.W.2d 481, 498 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995). The absence of a right to hybrid representation means relator’s pro se habeas petition will be treated as presenting nothing for this court’s review. See id.; see also Gray v. Shipley, 877 S.W.2d 806, 806 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, relator’s petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).

PER CURIAM DO NOT PUBLISH This proceeding arises out of Cause No. DC2022CR4667, styled State of Texas v. Cecil Burley, pending in the 144th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Michael E. Mery presiding.
