PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
On August 14, 2008, relator Randall Douglas filed a petition for writ of mandamus,
complaining of the trial court’s failure to rule on his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Release for
Delay of Prosecution and Excessive Bail and his Motion for Reduction of Bond.2 We conclude trial
counsel is also relator’s counsel for an original proceeding on the issue presented. Relator is not
entitled to hybrid representation. See Patrick v. State, 906 S.W.2d 481, 498 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995).

with this court on August 14, 2008. The Bexar County District Clerk shows that relator was sentenced in Cause No.

(Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, relator’s petition is denied.
Relator’s motion for leave to file the petition for writ of mandamus is denied as moot.
