Alberto Verastegui v. State

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
November 29, 2018
No. 04-18-00401-CR
Alberto VERASTEGUI,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 83rd Judicial District Court, Val Verde County, Texas
Trial Court No. 14,031CR
Honorable Robert Cadena, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant has filed numerous documents pro se, including a motion to stay the notice of
appeal. Our records show appellant is represented by counsel in this appeal, and counsel has filed
a brief on appellant’s behalf. If an appellant is represented by counsel in an appeal, the appellant
is not entitled to “hybrid representation,” meaning that pro se filings present nothing for this rule
on and we will only be able to respond to and rule on documents filed by appellant’s attorney.
See Ex parte Taylor, 36 S.W.3d 883, 887 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001); Flores v. State, 625 S.W.2d
44, 47 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1981, pet. ref’d). We therefore take no action on the pro se
filing.
