VERTICE OLIPHANT, Relator

v.

NACOGDOCHES COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent




ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NO. F132482005 IN THE 420TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
FROM NACOGDOCHES 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 420th Judicial District Court of Nacogdoches 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 
Nacogdoches 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); or stating that
Relator has not filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in Nacogdoches 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 the respondent has submitted the
appropriate response. Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order.
