IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-52,843-11

GARY WAYNE WARNER, Relator

v.

DALLAS COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NO. F99-00096-MI IN THE CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 2
FROM DALLAS 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 notice of appeal in the Criminal District
Court No. 2 of Dallas County from that court's order denying post-conviction DNA testing on
December 7, 2011, but that the notice of appeal has not been filed or forwarded to the court of
appeals by the district clerk.
	 In these circumstances, additional facts are needed.  The respondent, the District Clerk of 
Dallas County, is ordered to file a response, stating whether Relator's notice of appeal from the order
denying DNA testing was timely received and filed, and if so, why the appellate record has not been
forwarded to the court of appeals as required by Rule 35.2(a) of the Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure.  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.
