ORDER

Relator has filed a motion for leave to file a writ of mandamus pursuant to the original

corpus application, submitting a copy of a timely filed order which designates issues to be

investigated (see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578, 579 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992)), or stating that 2

Relator has not filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in Harris County. Should the response

include an order designating issues, proof of the date the district attorney’s office was served with

the habeas application and that the 180-day time frame set out in TEX . R. APP . P. 73.4(b)(5) has not

expired 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.
