Per curiam.

O R D E R

Relator has filed a motion for leave to file an application for a writ of mandamus pursuant to the original jurisdiction of this Court. In it, he contends that he filed petitions under Section 58.003(h) of the Family Code to inspect his sealed juvenile record and that the trial court has not ruled on his petitions.

Respondent, the Judge of the 313th District Court of Harris County, shall file a response with this Court and state whether Relator properly filed petitions under Section 58.003(h), when they were filed, and whether the trial court has ruled on them. Respondent's answer shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order. This application for leave to file a writ of mandamus will be held in abeyance until Respondent has submitted response.
