                   IN RE VINCENZIO JAMES CAPIZZANO, JR., Relator


                    ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
                   CAUSE NO. 5499-A IN THE 100TH DISTRICT COURT
                            FROM CHILDRESS COUNTY


       Per curiam.

                                             ORDER


       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 100th District Court of Childress 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

Childress 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 which designates issues to be

investigated (see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578, 579 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992)), or stating that
                                                                                                 2

Relator has not filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in Childress 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.
