IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
                         OF TEXAS
                                        NO. WR-29,755-07

                         IN RE WILLIAM SEDRIC AUTREY, Relator

                 ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
             CAUSE NO. 429-81194-10-HC3 IN THE 296th DISTRICT COURT
                             FROM COLLIN COUNTY

       Per curiam.

                                             ORDER

       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 296th District Court of Collin 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 Collin

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, 579 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992)), or stating that
                                                                                                   2

Relator has not filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in Collin 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.
