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PER CURIAM DO NOT PUBLISH
1 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.
