IN RE Jessica M. BARBOSA
Original Mandamus Proceeding1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Justice
Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice
Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 23, 2008
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
In a pro se original petition filed in this court, relator Jessica M. Barbosa requests a writ of
mandamus directing an immediate trial in the underlying criminal case. Alternatively, relator
requests release from the Bexar County jail. Relator is represented by trial counsel. We conclude trial
counsel is also relator’s counsel for an original proceeding on the issues presented. Relator 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 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 is denied.
