On Application for A Writ of Mandamus Cause Nos. W01-74780-H(B); W02-01983-H(B); W02-02066-H(B) In Criminal District Court No. 1 from Dallas County.

ORDER

Relator has filed a motion for leave to file a writ of mandamus pursuant to the original jurisdiction of this Court. In it, he contends that he filed applications for writs of habeas corpus in Criminal District Court No. 1 of Dallas County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that his applications have not yet been forwarded to this Court. In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. The respondent, the District Clerk of Dallas County, is ordered to file a response, which may be made by: submitting the records on such habeas corpus applications; submitting a copy of timely filed orders which designate issues to be investigated, see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578 (Tex.Crim.App. 1992); by stating that the nature of the claims asserted in the applications filed by Relator are such that the claims are not cognizable under Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, § 3; or stating that Relator has not filed applications for writs of habeas corpus in Dallas County. This application for leave to file a writ of mandamus shall be held in abeyance until the respondent has submitted the appropriate response. Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order.
