IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-79,927-01

IN RE SAMUEL DAVIS, Relator

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NOS. 863886-A, 866458-A, 866459-A, & 560090-A 
IN THE 179TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM HARRIS COUNTY

Per curiam.

O R D E R

	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 applications for writs of habeas corpus in
the 179th District Court of Harris County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that the
applications have not yet been forwarded to this Court.
	In these circumstances, additional facts are needed.  Respondent, the District Clerk of Harris
County, is ordered to file a response, which may be made by submitting the record on such habeas
corpus applications, submitting a copy of timely filed orders which designate issues to be
investigated (see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578, 579 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992)), or stating that
Relator has not filed applications for writs of habeas corpus in Harris County.  Should the response
include orders designating issues, proof of the date the district attorney's office was served with the
habeas applications 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.
