IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS



NO. WR-60,469-13


DOUGLAS ALAN BURDEN, Relator

v.

JEFFERSON COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent




ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NO. 74575 IN THE 252ND DISTRICT COURT
FROM JEFFERSON 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 252nd District Court of Jefferson 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.  Respondent, the District Clerk of
Jefferson 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, 579 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992)), or stating that
Relator has not filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in Jefferson 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 Respondent has submitted the
appropriate response.  Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order.
