IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-63,440-09

CLEVELAND WADE THOMPSON, Relator

v.

SMITH COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NO. 114-1126-02

FROM SMITH 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 mailed for filing, on March 28, 2011, an
application for a writ of habeas corpus addressed to the Clerk for the 114th Judicial District
Court of Smith 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
Smith 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 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992);
or stating that Relator has not filed an application for habeas corpus in Smith 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, and Respondent shall serve a copy of any such response on Relator.
