      Before the Court is appellant’s pro se motion for re-examination of the

process and pivotal documents. Because appellant is represented by counsel and is

not entitled to hybrid representation, we DENY the motion. See Smith v. Smith, 22
S.W.3d 140, 151, 153 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2000, no pet.) (civil

litigant not entitled to hybrid representation); see also In re Black, 04-18-00700-

CV, 2018 WL 6331052, *2 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Dec. 5, 2018, orig.

proceeding) (mem. op.) (same - proceeding for civil commitment of sexually

violent predator).
