IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-72,017-10

IN RE JAVIER RIVERA FRANCO, Relator

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS CAUSE NO. W05-45713-T(D) IN THE 283RD DISTRICT COURT FROM DALLAS COUNTY

Per curiam.

ORDER Relator has filed a motion for leave to file an application for a writ of mandamus under this Court’s original jurisdiction. Relator contends that sent a letter to the District Clerk of Dallas County on April 14, 2021 to determine how much it will cost to purchase copies of videos from his case. He alleges that the clerk has not responded and has not advised him of the cost to purchase copies of the requested exhibits.

In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. In re Bonilla, 424 S.W.3d 528 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). Respondent, the District Clerk of Dallas County, is ordered to file a response stating whether or not Relator has requested a cost estimate to obtain copies of Exhibit 1 from a prior writ application, which allegedly consists of police dashcam videos 532 and 535, and if so, whether he has been advised of the cost of purchasing the exhibits. If Relator made a request and the Respondent has not responded, the response to this order shall set forth the respondent’s legal rationale for not responding. This motion for leave to file will be held. Respondent shall comply with this order within thirty days from the date of this order.
