MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-08-00623-CR
IN RE Randall DOUGLAS
Original Mandamus Proceeding1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Alma L. López, Chief Justice
Karen Angelini, Justice
Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Delivered and Filed: September 10, 2008
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
On August 15, 2008, relator Randall Douglas filed a petition for writ of mandamus,
complaining of the trial court’s failure to rule on his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Release for
Delay of Prosecution and Excessive Bail and his Motion for Reduction of Bond. Relator
acknowledges he is represented by counsel. We conclude trial counsel is also relator’s counsel for
an original proceeding on the issue presented. Relator 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 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.]

This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2007-CR-8538, styled The State of Texas v. Randall Douglas, in the
226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, the Honorable Sid Harle presiding.

1994, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, relator’s petition is denied. Relator’s motion for leave to file
the petition for writ of mandamus is denied as moot.
