Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-60,466-02

FREDERICK LEE BARNES, Relator

v.

THE DISTRICT CLERK OF HARRIS COUNTY, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

CAUSE NO. 73-6180-A IN THE 228^TH DISTRICT COURT

HARRIS COUNTY

The order was delivered per curiam.

O R D E R

This is an original application for a writ of mandamus.

Relator contends that he filed an application for writ of habeas corpus in the 228th Judicial District Court of Harris County, but that the application has not been forwarded to the Court of Criminal Appeals even though more than sixty days have elapsed. Relator's contentions present a colorable claim to have prompt resolution of any grounds raised in such an application.

It is this Court's opinion that additional information is required before a decision can be reached. Therefore, the Respondent, District Clerk of Harris County, is ordered to file with this Court within thirty days a response by submitting the record on such application or a copy of a timely entered order designating issues to be investigated, see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992), or by stating the nature of any applications filed by Relator such that they are not filed pursuant to Article 11.07, § 3, V.A.C.C.P., or that no applications by applicant have been filed.

IT IS SO ORDERED this the FIFTEENTH day of FEBRUARY, 2006.
