IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-81,859-08

IN RE WILLIAM CHARLES WEBB, Relator

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS CAUSE NO. 2012-678-C2H IN THE 54TH DISTRICT COURT FROM MCLENNAN 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 filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus

in the 54th District Court of McLennan 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. Respondent, the District Clerk of

McLennan 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, 579 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992)), or stating 2

that Relator has not filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in McLennan County. Should

the response include an order designating issues, proof of the date the district attorney’s office was

served with the habeas application shall also be submitted with the response. 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.
