IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS





NO. WR-60,976-05



STEPHEN CRAIG RICHARDS, Relator


v.


ANGELINA COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent






ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
FROM THE 159TH DISTRICT COURT OF ANGELINA COUNTY



 Per curiam.


O R D E R


	This is an original application for a writ of mandamus.
	Relator contends that he filed an application for writ of habeas corpus in the 159th 
Judicial District Court of Angelina County, but that the application has not been forwarded
to the Court of Criminal Appeals even though more than thirty-five days have elapsed. 
Relator's contentions present a colorable claim to have prompt resolution of any grounds
raised in such an application.
	It is this Court's opinion that additional information is required before a decision can
be reached.  Therefore, the respondent, District Clerk of Angelina County, is ordered to file
with this Court within thirty days a response by submitting the record on such application or
a copy of an order designating issues to be investigated, see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d
578 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992), or by stating the nature of any applications filed by Relator such
that they are not filed pursuant to Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, § 3, or that no
applications by Relator have been filed.
	IT IS SO ORDERED this the 7th day of June, 2006.
