OF TEXAS



NO. WR-73,657-01


VINCENT SMITH, Relator

v.

DALLAS DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent




ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NO. W94-40906-Q
IN THE 204TH DISTRICT COURT FROM DALLAS 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 204th District Court of Dallas 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 
Dallas 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 which designates issues to be
investigated, see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992); stating that the
nature of the claims asserted in the application filed by Relator is such that the claims are not
cognizable under Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art 11.07, § 3; or stating that Relator has not filed an
application for habeas corpus in Dallas County.  If the District Clerk submits a copy of an order
designating issues, the Clerk shall also inform this Court the date that the State was served with the
11.07 writ application.
	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.
