IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-61,864-05

SHANNON MARK DOUTHIT, Relator

v.

JEFF DAVIS COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NO. 556
IN THE JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT FROM JEFF DAVIS 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 Judicial District Court of Jeff Davis County on June 15, 2011.  More than 35 days have
elapsed, and this application has not yet been forwarded to this Court.  
	 In these circumstances, additional facts are needed.  The respondent, the District Clerk of 
Jeff Davis 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 Jeff Davis 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.
