to this Court, respond that Relator has not filed a habeas application in Bexar County, or forward a 2

copy of an ODI together with correspondence documenting the date the State received Relator’s

habeas application. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07, § 3(c) and (d); TEX . R. APP . P.

73.4(b)(5). Additionally, the clerk will provide Relator with copies of any documents enumerated

in Tex. R. App. P. 73.4(b)(2) that have been filed or made part of the record.

This motion for leave to file will be held. Respondent shall comply with this order within

thirty days from the date of this order.
