His filing and exhibits attached in support allege that he filed applications for writs of habeas corpus in Bexar County in cause nos. 1993CR3777-W1 and 1994CR3631W-W1; that on March, 24, 2023, the trial court entered an order in each habeas case requiring trial counsel to file an affidavit in response; that trial counsel never filed an affidavit as ordered; and that the trial court has taken no further action to obtain trial counsel's affidavit or made findings of fact and conclusions of law.

Respondent shall comply with this order within thirty days from the date of this order.
