EX PARTE DOUGLAS WAYNE REED, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
10th District Court
Galveston County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 19CR1668
ORDER
Appellant filed the present motion pro se in both of the above-styled
proceedings, an active direct appeal from his criminal prosecution in which he is
represented by counsel and a dismissed pro se habeas proceeding. His motion
requests that his counsel in the direct appeal surrender the casefile he created.
Appellant’s motion does not warrant relief, and moreover, to the extent appellant is
seeking the casefile to allow himself to both be represented by counsel and proceed
pro se in a hybrid representation arrangement in his pending direct appeal, he is not
entitled to proceed that way. See Martinez v. State, 513 S.W.3d 87, 96 (Tex.
App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2016, no pet.). Accordingly, appellant’s motion is
denied.
PER CURIAM
Panel Consists of Justices Wise, Bourliot, and Zimmerer.
