IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
                          OF TEXAS
                                        NO. WR-52,553-06

                          IN RE JOHN DAVID KOHLBERG, Relator

                   ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
                 CAUSE NO. 01-1045-CR IN THE 25th DISTRICT COURT
                           FROM GUADALUPE COUNTY

       Per curiam.

                                             ORDER

       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 an application for a writ of habeas corpus

in the 25th District Court of Guadalupe County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that the

application has not yet been forwarded to this Court.

       In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. Respondent, the District Clerk of

Guadalupe County, is ordered to file a response, which may be made by submitting the record on

such habeas corpus application, submitting a copy of a timely filed order which designates issues to

be investigated (see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578, 579 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992)), or stating
                                                                                                    2

that Relator has not filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in Guadalupe County. Should

the response include an order designating issues, proof of the date the district attorney’s office was

served with the habeas application shall also be submitted with the 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.
