The State of TexasAppellee/s
Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
July 27, 2015
No. 04-14-00246-CR
Destyn David FREDERICK,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 81st Judicial District Court, La Salle County, Texas
Trial Court No. 11-09-00041-CRL
Honorable Donna S. Rayes, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On July 21, 2015, appellant filed a pro se motion to suspend electronic filing and a pro se
reply brief, asserting appointed counsel had abandoned the appeal. Appellate counsel, however,
timely filed an appellant’s brief in this appeal on April 20, 2015, and the filing of a reply brief is
not mandatory under the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. In Texas, appellants do not have a
right to hybrid representation. Rudd v. State, 616 S.W.2d 623, 625 (Tex. Crim. App. 1981).
Therefore, appellant’s pro se motion and reply brief are STRICKEN and will not be considered
by the court.
It is so ORDERED on the 27th day of July, 2015.
