Cesar Martinez v. The State of Texas--Appeal from 122nd District Court of Galveston County
Annotate this CaseIN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-98-161-CR
CESAR MARTINEZ, Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 122nd District Court
Galveston County, Texas
Trial Court # 95CR1025
DISSENTING OPINION
I respectfully dissent. Martinez filed a pro se motion to dismiss his court-appointed attorney. His attorney joined in the motion during the January 9, 1998, hearing and filed his own motion to withdraw as counsel. Under the limited circumstances of this case, I believe the court should have further questioned Martinez reasons for wishing to dismiss his court-appointed counsel.
I would reverse the judgment and remand for further proceedings.
BILL VANCE
Justice
Dissenting opinion delivered and filed August 18, 1999
