No. 01-96-00406-CR.

962 S.W.2d 124 (1997)

Jimmy WALKER, Appellant, v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Texas, Houston (1st Dist.).

December 4, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert Morrow, Spring, for Appellant.

John B. Holmes, William Delmore, III, Houston, for Appellee.

Before SCHNEIDER, C.J., and ANDELL and TAFT, JJ.

OPINION

TAFT, Justice.

A jury found appellant, Jimmy Walker, guilty of murder and assessed punishment at life in prison plus a $10,000 fine. We consider: (1) whether a defendant representing himself with standby counsel must be admonished as to the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation; and (2) whether the trial court improperly denied appellant's request to withdraw his waiver of counsel. We reverse for a new punishment hearing.
