Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-15,818-06 MORRIS RAY CLARK, Relator

v.

DALLAS COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

FROM CAUSE NOS. -82-90856-TU AND F-82-9057-TU IN THE 291^ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF DALLAS COUNTY

Per curiam.

O R D E R

This is an original application for a writ of mandamus.

Relator contends that he filed two applications for writs of habeas corpus in the 291^st Judicial District Court, but that the applications have not been forwarded to the Court of Criminal Appeals even though more than thirty-five days have elapsed. Relator's contentions present a colorable claim to have prompt resolution of any grounds raised in such applications.

It is this Court's opinion that additional information is required before a decision can be reached. Therefore, the respondent, District Clerk of Dallas County, is ordered to file with this Court within thirty days a response by submitting the record on such applications or a copy of any orders 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 Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, § 3, or that no applications by Relator have been filed.

IT IS SO ORDERED this the 10^th of May, 2006.
