                                                                                                     2

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

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

office was served with the habeas application and that the 180-day time frame set out in TEX . R. APP .

P. 73.4(b)(5) has not expired 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.
