Opinion
IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-15-00172-CR
RONALD DARRIN COMBS, Appellant v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
From the 40th District Court Ellis County, Texas Trial Court No. 39840CR
ORDER
Ronald Darrin Combs was convicted of aggravated assault. John Perkins, III was
appointed counsel for Combs on appeal. We have now received a motion to substitute
counsel requesting this Court to substitute Niles Illich for John Perkins, III as counsel for
Combs. We are not able to substitute counsel for Combs. See Enriquez v. State, 999
S.W.2d 906, 908 (Tex.App. – Waco 1999, order). The trial court has the authority through
the Code of Criminal Procedure to relieve Perkins of his duties and appoint new counsel
for Combs’s appeal. Id. Any substitution of counsel and the related costs to the county should be determined by the trial court that appointed Perkins to Combs’s criminal
proceeding. Id.
Accordingly, we deny the motion to substitute counsel. Original counsel, John
Perkins, III will remain lead counsel for Combs. Niles Illich has been added as additional
counsel for Combs in this appeal.
