Description
Appellant was convicted of unlawfully possessing methamphetamine, a controlled substance. His punishment, enhanced by a prior felony conviction, was assessed at ten years confinement in the penitentiary. On direct appeal he complained, among other things, that he was denied his right to the assistance of counsel at a preindictment hearing in violation of the Constitutions of Texas and the United States, and of article 1.051, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The Court of Appeals affirmed, holding that, although Appellant did have the right to an attorney at the proceeding in question, his failure to request appointment of counsel under article 1.051(c) effectively waived that right. Oliver v. State, 813 S.W.2d 762, 764-65 (Tex. App. -- Houston [1st Dist.] 1991). We granted Appellants petition for discretionary review to determine whether, at critical stages of the adversary criminal process, an accused may be subjected to judicial proceedings without the assistance of counsel unless he affirmatively requests the appointment of an attorney to represent him pursuant to article 1.051(c). Tex. R. App. P. 200(c)(2).
