IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-09,710-37

TERRY LEE WALLS, Relator

v.

HARRIS COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NO. 982718 IN THE 178TH 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 in October 2010, he filed an application for a writ
of habeas corpus in the 178th 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); or stating that
Relator did not file an application for a writ of habeas corpus in Harris County in October 2010.
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 the respondent has
submitted the appropriate response. Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of
this order.
