	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 applications for writs of habeas corpus in

Dallas County, is ordered to file a response, which may be made by: submitting the record on such
habeas corpus applications; submitting a copy of a timely filed orders which designate issues to be
investigated, see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992); by stating that the

cognizable under Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, § 3; or stating that Relator have not filed
applications for writs of habeas corpus in Dallas County.  This application for leave to file a writ of
mandamus shall be held in abeyance until the respondent has submitted the appropriate response.
