Texas Court of Appeals, 1st District (Houston) November 20, 1986, 01-86-0210-CR (Ramirez v. State)

LEVY, Justice,

dissenting.

Because both history and reason suggest that our Texas constitutional right to counsel is not a mere shadow of the comparable Sixth Amendment, and that implicit in the constitutional right to counsel is the assurance that the right, to be effective, will be available when needed, I respectfully dissent.
