RICHARD TAYLOR, Relator

v.

HOUSTON COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

CAUSE NO. 01CRO34 IN THE 349^TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

FROM HOUSTON 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 the 349^th Judicial District Court of Houston County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that the application has not yet been forwarded to this Court.

In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. The respondent, the District Clerk of Houston County, is ordered to file a response, which may be made by: submitting the record on such habeas corpus application; submitting a copy of a timely filed order that designates issues to be investigated, see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992); stating that the claims asserted in the application filed by Relator are not cognizable under Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art.11.07, § 3; or stating that Relator has not filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in Houston County. This application for leave to file a writ of mandamus shall be held in abeyance until the respondent has submitted the appropriate response. Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order.
