IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS



NO. WR-63,955-05




IN RE TIMOTHY SCOTT, Relator




ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NOS. 01CR2001-83-2 & 01CR2002-83-2 
IN THE 405TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM GALVESTON 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 405th District Court of Galveston 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
Galveston 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 Relator has not filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in Galveston 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.
