Per curiam.
ORDER
Relators, through respective counsel, have filed motions for leave to file petitions for writs
of prohibition under this Court’s original jurisdiction. Both Relators contend that Harris County
officials have unlawfully created a district court and have transferred their cases from a legitimate
district court created by the Legislature to an illegitimate district court created by the Harris County
Commissioners Court and the Harris County District Court Judges.
Respondents, the Harris County Commissioners Court and the Harris County District Court
Judges, are invited to provide this Court with a response to Relators’ claims. The response may be
provided by the Harris County Attorney’s Office, representatives of which have already filed in this 2
Court notices of appearance in these cases. Any response shall be filed with this Court within thirty
(30) days of the date of this order.
