IN RE GRAILAND FIELDS, Relator
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS CAUSE NO. 96-CR-2288 IN THE 226TH DISTRICT COURT FROM BEXAR COUNTY
Per curiam. ORDER
Relator has filed a motion for leave to file an application for a writ of mandamus pursuant to the original jurisdiction of this Court. In it, Relator contends that he filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in the 226th District Court of Bexar County, that the District Court entered an order designating issues on an unspecified date, that more than 180 days have passed since the date the State received the application, and that the application has not been timely forwarded to this Court as mandated by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 73.4(b)(5).
Respondent, the District Clerk of Bexar County, is ordered to file a response, which may be made by submitting the record on such habeas corpus application, submitting proof that a timely order designating issues has been signed and 180 days have not elapsed since the district attorney's office was served, or stating that Relator has not filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in Bexar County. Should the response state that the deadlines have not passed, an order designating issues and proof of the date the district attorney's office was served with the habeas application shall be submitted with the response. This application for leave to file a writ of mandamus shall be held in abeyance until Respondent has submitted the appropriate response. Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order. Filed: December 14, 2016
