IN RE CLAYTON TUTTLE BROTHERS, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Clayton Tuttle Brothers has filed four pro se petitions for writ of
mandamus.1 We deny the petitions.
1
The underlying cases are The State of Texas v. Clayton Tuttle Brothers, cause
numbers 1487636, 1487637, 1487638, 1487639, pending in the 177th District Court
of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Robert Johnson presiding.
Relator contends that the trial court abused its discretion in failing to rule on
his application for writ of habeas corpus for bail reduction and motion to withdraw
court order and dismiss the State’s ex parte motion for AIDS testing. But, relator
also acknowledges that he is represented by appointed counsel in the trial court.
Because relator is represented by counsel below and is not entitled to hybrid
representation, his pro se petitions present nothing for review. See In re Estrada, No.
01–18–00620–CR, 2018 WL 3625256, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] July
31, 2018, orig. proceeding) (citing to Patrick v. State, 906 S.W.2d 481, 498 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1995)).
Accordingly, we deny the petitions.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Higley and Hightower.
