IN RE CHARLES LEE STRICKLAND, Relator
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NOS. 89-CR-1284A , 920-CR-201B, 90-CR-202B AND 90-CR-204B
IN THE 138TH DISTRICT COURT FROM CAMERON COUNTY
Per curiam. 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 four applications for writs of habeas corpus in the 138th District Court of Cameron County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that the applications have not yet been forwarded to this Court.
In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. Respondent, the District Clerk of Cameron County, is ordered to file a response, which may be made by submitting the records on such habeas corpus applications, submitting copies of timely filed orders which designate issues to be investigated (see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578, 579 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992)), or stating that Relator has not filed applications for writs of habeas corpus in Cameron County. Should the response include orders designating issues, proof of the date the district attorney's office was served with the habeas applications shall also 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: October 21, 2015
