Opinion
IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-92,917-01
IN RE JAMES RYAN ROSS, Relator
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS CAUSE NOS. 12-12-12875-CR AND 09-13-00093-CR IN THE 9TH DISTRICT COURT FROM MONTGOMERY 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 has repeatedly written to the Montgomery
County District Clerk, attempting to purchase copies of trial transcripts, but he has received
responses to the effect that the clerk has received his “letters and/or motions” and will be notified
“if an order is signed in [his] case.”
In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. Respondent, the District Clerk of
Montgomery County, is ordered to file a response stating whether he received a request from the
Relator for a statement of costs for his records. If the District Clerk received such a request, he shall 2
state the nature of his response and, if available, provide a copy of the response. If the District Clerk
received such a request and did not respond, he shall provide his rationale for not responding. 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.
