IN RE ANDREW JERRY MUNIZ, Relator
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS CAUSE NO. 39,832 IN THE 142 DISTRICT COURT FROM MIDLAND 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 two applications for writs of habeas corpus in the 142 District Court of Midland County, the District Court entered a timely order designating issues on December 8, 2017, more than 180 days have passed since the date the State received the applications, and the applications have not been timely forwarded to this Court as mandated by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 73.4(b)(5).
Respondent, the District Clerk of Midland County, is ordered to file a response, which may be made by submitting the record on such habeas corpus applications, submitting proof of the date of receipt by the State showing 180 days has not yet elapsed, or stating that Relator has not filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in Midland County. 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: June 6, 2018
