IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-83,532-01

IN RE DIETRICK LEWIS JOHNSON SR, Relator

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS CAUSE NOS. 219-81234-2012; 219-81235-2012; 219-82905-2012 IN THE 219th DISTRICT COURT FROM COLLIN COUNTY

Per curiam.

ORDER

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 applications for writs of habeas corpus in

the 219th District Court of Collin County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that the

applications have not yet been forwarded to this Court.

In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. Respondent, the District Clerk of Collin

County, is ordered to file a response, which may be made by submitting the record on such habeas

corpus applications, submitting a copy of a timely filed order which designates issues to be

investigated (see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578, 579 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992)), or stating that 2

Relator has not filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in Collin County. Should the

response include an order designating issues, proof of the date the district attorney’s office was

served with the habeas application shall also be submitted with the response. This application for

leave to file a writ of mandamus shall be held in abeyance until Respondent has submitted the

appropriate response. Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order.
