ROBERT PRESTON, JR., Relator

v.

DALLAS COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

CAUSE NO. W74-00645-H(D) IN CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 1

FROM DALLAS COUNTY

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 Criminal District Court No. 1 of Dallas County, that the trial court signed an order on September 13, 2011, directing Respondent to immediately 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. Respondent, the District Clerk of Dallas County, is ordered to file a response, which may be made by: submitting the record on such habeas corpus application or stating why Relator's application has not been forwarded to this Court. 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.
