CROCKETT COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS IN THE 112th JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT FROM CROCKETT COUNTY Per curiam. K ELLER, P.J., not participating. 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 112th Judicial District Court of Crockett County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that the application has not yet been forwarded to this Court. 2 In these circumstances, additional facts are needed.

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 the respondent has submitted the appropriate response. Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order. Filed: February 1, 2012 Do not publish
