v.
HIDALGO COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NOS. CR-1915-92-D & CR-1922-92-D
IN THE 206TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
FROM HIDALGO 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 applications for writs of habeas corpus in the 206th Judicial District Court of Hidalgo County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that the applications have not yet been forwarded to this Court.
In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. The respondent, the District Clerk of Hidalgo 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 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992); by stating that the nature of the claims asserted in the applications filed by Relator is such that the claims are not cognizable under Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, § 3; or stating that Relator has not filed applications for habeas corpus in Hidalgo County. This application for leave to file a writ of mandamus shall be held in abeyance until the respondent has submitted the appropriate response. Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order.
