IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS




NO. WR-24,079-12


WILLIAM LESTER RICE, Relator


v.



JUDGE, 185
TH DISTRICT COURT, Respondent




ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

FROM HARRIS COUNTY


Per curiam.



O R D E R



This is an original application for a writ of mandamus. Relator contends that he filed an application for writ of habeas corpus in the 185th Judicial District Court on August 11, 2004, in cause number 857604, but more than thirty-five days have elapsed and the application has not been forwarded to the Court of Criminal Appeals. Relator also alleges that an order designating issues was entered September 13, 2004.

It is this Court's opinion that additional information is required before a decision can be reached on the motion for leave to file the instant action. The respondent, Judge of the 185th Judicial District Court of Harris County, is ordered to file a response with this Court within thirty days by having the district clerk submit the record on such habeas corpus application or by setting out the reasons that findings have not been made in the period since the order designating issues was entered. This application for writ of mandamus is held in abeyance pending compliance with this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED this the 8th day of February, 2006.
