We study the connection between dark matter (DM) and neutrinoless double beta () decay in a scotogenic model with hybrid texture in the neutrino mass matrix. Characteristically, the framework allows to write all the non-zero elements of the mass matrix proportional to effective Majorana mass . The overall scale of the neutrino mass is found to be governed by non-zero . We have obtained interesting correlations of relic density of DM() with DM mass and . Using experimental value of DM relic density (), the DM mass , is found to be (1 TeV) which is within reach of collider experiments. Specifically, for all five hybrid textures, the range of upper bound on DM mass is found to be (2.27-5.31) TeV. Another interesting feature of the model is the existence of lower bound on for all allowed hybrid textures except texture which can be probed in current and future decay experiments. With high sensitivities, these experiments shall establish the theoretical status of the proposed model. For example, the non-observation of decay down to the sensitivity eV will refute hybrid texture.
