EDGAR ENRIGUE RODRIGUEZ, Relator

v.

HILL COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

IN THE 66th DISTRICT COURT

FROM HILL 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 has attempted to file two pre-trial habeas applications in Hill County, but that the Hill County District Clerk has not filed either one of the applications.

In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. Respondent, the District Clerk of Hill County, is ordered to file a response, stating whether and when Relator's pre-trial habeas applications were received, and if they were received, whether and when they were file-stamped in the Hill County District Clerk's office. 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.
