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
