            Per curiam.

O R D E R

            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 an application for a writ of habeas corpus in the 15th Criminal District Court of Grayson County; that on August 22, 2011, the trial court signed findings of fact and conclusions of law and ordered the District Clerk to forward his application to this Court; and that his application has not yet been forwarded to this Court.

             In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. The respondent, the District Clerk of Grayson County, is ordered to file a response explaining why Relator’s habeas application has not been forwarded to this Court. This application for leave to file a writ of mandamus shall be held in abeyance until the respondent has submitted the appropriate response. This response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order.
