IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-67,577-01

JIMMIE A. SCOTT, Relator

v.

HARRIS COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NO. 9418169 IN THE 177TH JUDICIAL 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 an application for a writ of habeas corpus
in the 177th Judicial District Court of Harris 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. The 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 application; submitting a copy of a timely filed order that designates issues to be
investigated, see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992); stating that the
claims in Relator's habeas application are not cognizable under Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07,
§ 3; or stating that Relator has not filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in Harris County.
This application for leave to file a writ of mandamus shall be held in abeyance until the respondent
has submitted the appropriate response. Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date
of this order.
