                Harris County, Texas Cause No.1226453-A

      MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE WRIT OF MANDAMUS

 TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

   NOW COMES Dominick Lowe, Relator, in accordance with Rules of

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 72.1 and Pursuant to Article 11.07, Sec.

3(c) of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure and files this motion for leave

to file petition for writ of mandamus, and, in support thereof, presents the

following:

   1. The Real Party in Interest, Dominick Lowe, filed an 11.07 application

      for a writ ofhabeas corpus in the convicting court on November 7,

      2012.

   2. More than 35 days have elapsed since the filing date and a timely
   order designating issues has not been entered. The application also has
                                                               I
   not been forwarded to the Court of Criminal Appeals.

3. Relator is entitled to extraordinary relief before this court because of

   Respondent's untimely processing of my 11.07 writ aJiication. The

   Judge has no authority to continue to hold Relator's

   application for writ of habeas corpus filed November 7, 2012.

4. Article 11.07 does not authorize the trial court to extend the time
                                                               I

   limitations imposed by the statute, other than by a   timel~ entry of
                       .                                       I
   an order designating issues. McCree v. Hampton,824 S.iW.2d 578,579

   (Tex. Crim. App.1992).

5. The 11.07 application for writ ofhabeas corpus also contained a CD

   disk of the trial transcript and a CD disk ofthe.involuntary custodial

   confession (State exhibit no. 1). That would also need a court order

   to forward.

6. My 11.07 writ application is currently inactive with no future events.

   failure to grant relief gives the state the green light to let my

   application rest at idle in violation of my 14th Amendment Rights of

   The United States Constitution.
                               NEW INFORMATION

7.    The 232nd District Court ofHarris County entered an order designating

      issues and a order not to forward my 11.07 application for writ of

      habeas corpus to The Court of Criminal Appeals on January 31, 2013.

     WHEREFORE, Dominick Lowe prays that this Court will grant motion

     for leave to file his petition for writ of mandamus, and for such other

     relief to which Relator is entitled, either at law or in equity. I am

     currently in the Prison Mental Retard Offender Program and will not

     object if this court appoints counsel to assist me with my writ since I

     have been repeatedly run over and taken advantage of by the Texas

     Judicial System! Please order the Harris County judge to forward my

     11.07 application, related records and custodial confession to the Court of

     Criminal Appeals. Note this is a new writ contains new respondent and

     new issues. Writ on hold for over two years issue. Not abuse!

        Respondent, the Judge of the 221 51 District Court of Montgomery County, shall file a

response with this Court by having the District Clerk submit the record on such habeas corpus

application. In the alternative, Respondent may resolve the issues set out in the order designating

issues and then have the District Clerk submit the record on such application. In either case,
                                                                                               2

Respondent's answer shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order. This application
