BOBBY CHARLES CANADY, Relator

v.

DALLAS DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

CAUSE NOS. W01-53350-M & W01-53351-M IN THE 194^TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

FROM DALLAS COUNTY

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 194th Judicial District Court of Dallas County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that the applications have not yet been forwarded to this Court. It appears that orders designating issues in these causes were signed by the trial court on March 16, 2011. However, Relator alleges that his writ applications were filed on November 16, 2010.

In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. The respondent, the District Clerk of Dallas County, is ordered to file a response, which may be made by: submitting the record on such habeas corpus applications; submitting copies of timely filed orders which designate issues to be investigated, see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992); or stating that Relator has not filed applications for habeas corpus in Dallas County. Should the response include orders designating issues, proof of the date the district attorney's office was served with the habeas applications 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.
