Trial Court Case Number: 16407, 16408, 16409, 16410
Style: Benny Joseph Walker v. The State of Texas
This is to acknowledge your communication received January 16, 2016, with reference to your
direct appeal. Please be advised that the current status of your appeal is:
1. Has been filed but has not yet been decided.
2. This Court has no jurisdiction to compel the trial court to provide you with free copies of
any of your trial court records. This Court does not provide free copies of any documents
without prepayment of costs.
3. Appellant’s counsel shall represent the appellant until “appeals are exhausted, or the
attorney is relieved of his duties by the court.” TEX. CODE CRIM. P. art. 26.04(j)(2). Our
mandate has not issued. Accordingly, appellant is still represented by court appointed
counsel on appeal. Appellant is not entitled to “hybrid representation.” See, e.g., Robinson
v. State, 240 S.W.3d 919, 922 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007). Pro se motions/correspondence filed
by appellant will be forwarded to the attorney of record. Appellant’s counsel is ordered, to
the extent he may not have already done so, to satisfy his certification obligation pursuant to
TEX. R. APP. P. 48.4.
Very truly yours,
Christopher A. Prine
Clerk of the Court
