Opinion
COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON
ORDER
Appellate case name: Davidette Johnson v. The State of Texas
Appellate case number: 01-15-00869-CR
Trial court case number: 1397348
Trial court: 232nd District Court of Harris County
Appellant, Davidette Johnson, is represented by appointed counsel, Joseph W. Varela. On February 12, 2016, Johnson filed two motions: (1) A motion for discovery and inspection of evidence, asking us to order the District Attorney to produce and permit his counsel to view all evidence, and (2) a motion for bail pending appeal. Johnson is represented by counsel on appeal, and he is not entitled to hybrid representation. See Rudd v. State, 616 S.W.2d 623, 625 (Tex. Crim. App. 1981); Gray v. Shipley, 877 S.W.2d 806, 806 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, orig. proceeding). “Hybrid representation” means “representation partly by counsel and partly by self.” Robinson v. State, 240 S.W.3d 919, 921 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007). Accordingly, we deny the motion for discovery and inspection and the motion for bail. It is so ORDERED.
