THOMAS JEFFREY STONE, Relator

v.

JUDGE, CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 3, Respondent

IN CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 3

FROM DALLAS COUNTY

Relator has filed motions for leave to file applications for a writ of mandamus pursuant to the original jurisdiction of this Court. In them, he contends that he filed applications for a writ of habeas corpus in Criminal District Court No. 3 of Dallas County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that the applications have not yet been forwarded to this Court. Relator contends that the district court entered orders designating issues on August 8, 2006.

In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. The respondent, the judge of Criminal District Court No. 3 of Dallas County, is ordered to file a response with this Court by having the District Clerk submit the record on such habeas corpus applications or by setting out the reasons that no findings have been made since the orders designating issues were entered. These applications for leave to file a writ of mandamus will 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.
