Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-67,233-02 RICHARD RAY MCDONALD, Relator

v.

HARRIS COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

FROM HARRIS COUNTY

Per curiam.

O R D E R

This is an original application for a writ of mandamus. Relator contends he filed an application for writ of habeas corpus in cause number 931759, but the District Clerk has failed to send him copies of any documents filed by the judge or prosecutor in that application for writ of habeas corpus.

It is this Court's opinion that additional information is required before a decision can be reached on the motion for leave to file the instant action. The respondent, District Clerk of Harris County, is ordered to file a response with this Court within thirty days by stating whether the State filed any answer, motion, or other pleading relating to the application for a writ of habeas corpus, or the court issued any order relating to that application for a writ of habeas corpus, and whether the clerk of the court mailed or delivered to Relator a copy of the answer, motion, pleading, or order. If any such document was filed, and copies of all such documents were not sent to Relator, the clerk shall set out the reasons such copies were not sent. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, § 7. This application for writ of mandamus is held in abeyance pending compliance with this order.
