IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-61,916-02

CHARISSE S. JOHNSON, Relator

v.

JEFFERSON DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NO. 814321 IN THE 252ND JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
FROM JEFFERSON 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, she contends that she filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus
in the 252nd Judicial District Court of Jefferson County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and
that the application has not yet been forwarded to this Court.  She further contends that the trial court
has denied her habeas application, filed pursuant to Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Art. 11.07, without
forwarding it to this Court.
	In these circumstances, additional facts are needed.  The respondent, the District Clerk of 
Jefferson 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 Jefferson County.  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.
