IN RE CHARLES RAY BAKER, JR. , Relator

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

CAUSE NOS. F34012, F35475 IN THE 249^TH DISTRICT COURT

FROM JOHNSON 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 four applications for writs of habeas corpus challenging convictions in the 249^th District Court of Johnson County, and that only two were filed and forwarded to this Court.

In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. Respondent, the District Clerk of Johnson County, is ordered to file a response. The District Clerk shall state whether his office has received any 11.07 writ applications challenging the convictions in the above cause numbers since September 2013. If the District Clerk received any such applications, he shall state whether they were filed in the District Court. If applications were received but not filed, the District Clerk shall include the rationale for not filing the applications in his response. 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.
