v.

DALLAS COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent




ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NOS. F-10-53406, F-10-71736, AND F-10-71737
IN THE 203RD 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 three applications for writs of habeas corpus
in the 203rd District Court of Dallas County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that the
applications have not yet been forwarded to this Court.
	In these circumstances, additional facts are needed.  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(s), submitting a copy of a timely filed order which designates issues to be
investigated (see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578, 579 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992)), or stating that
Relator has not filed the application(s) in Dallas County.  Should the response include an order
designating issues, proof of the date the district attorney's office was served with the habeas
application(s) 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.
