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).
