IN RE LESLIE RAY TURNER, Relator
Do not publish
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS CAUSE NO. 5408 IN THE 33RD DISTRICT COURT FROM SAN SABA COUNTY
ORDER
Per curiam.
Relator has filed a motion for leave to file an application for a writ of mandamus under this Court's original jurisdiction. In it, he contends that he wrote to the San Saba County District Clerk requesting an estimate of costs for copies of specific portions of his trial transcripts, but has received no estimate for the cost of his records. In re Bonilla, 424 S.W.3d 528 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014).
In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. Respondent, the District Clerk of San Saba County, is ordered to file a response stating whether she received a request from the Relator for a statement of costs for portions of his trial records. If the District Clerk received such a request, she shall state the nature of her response and, if available, provide a copy of the response. If the District Clerk received such a request and did not respond, she shall provide her rationale for not responding. 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.
