Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-34,829-03

ISAAC DUANE WHITE, Relator

v.

24TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

CAUSE NO. 93-2-15,139-A

FROM VICTORIA 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 in 2008, he filed a motion for DNA testing and the appointment of counsel under Chapter 64 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and that Respondent has not ruled on this motion. In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. The Respondent, Judge of the 24th Judicial District Court of Victoria County, is ordered to file a response with this Court.

In this response, the judge shall state whether Relator has filed a proper motion under Chapter 64 and whether and when a ruling on the motion has been entered. See Gutierrez v. State, 307 S.W.3d 318 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010). If there is no ruling on the motion, the judge shall give the reason or reasons for not issuing a ruling.

This application for leave to file a writ of mandamus will 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.
