IN RE WILBERT LEE FERGUSON, Relator

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

CAUSE NO. 1262454 IN THE 178TH DISTRICT COURT

FROM HARRIS COUNTY

Relator has filed a motion for leave to file a writ of mandamus pursuant to the original jurisdiction of this Court. He contends that he filed an Article 11.07 application in the trial court, Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, and that his application has not been forwarded to the Court. According to the record, on April 18, 2013, the trial court entered findings of fact and conclusions of law and ordered the clerk to forward the habeas record to this Court.

After a trial court makes findings of fact or approves findings made by a person designated to make them, the clerk "shall immediately transmit to the Court of Criminal Appeals, under one cover, the application, any answers filed, any motions filed, transcripts of all depositions and hearings, any affidavits, and any other matters such as official records used by the court in resolving issues of fact." Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, § 3(d). We have not received the habeas record in Relator's case. In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. Respondent, the District Clerk of Harris County, is ordered to respond by forwarding the record to this Court or stating why the record has not been forwarded to this Court. This application for leave to file a writ of mandamus shall be held in abeyance until Respondent has submitted the appropriate response. Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order.
