IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-74,837-01

KEVIN CULPEPPER, Relator

v.

COLLINGSWORTH COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NO.  2536
IN THE 100th JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT FROM COLLINGSWORTH 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 100th Judicial District Court of Collingsworth 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 
Collingsworth 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); by stating that
the nature of the claims asserted in the application filed by Relator is such that the claims are not
cognizable under Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, § 3; or stating that Relator has not filed  an
application for habeas corpus in Collingsworth 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 the
respondent has submitted the appropriate response.  Such response shall be submitted within 30 days
of the date of this order.
