         Per curiam.

                                             ORDER

         Relator has filed a motion for leave to file a writ of mandamus pursuant to the original

jurisdiction of this Court. He contends that he mailed an "amended/supplemented application for

writ of habeas corpus" 1 in November 2013, and has received no confirmation that the District Clerk

filed the documents.

         In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. The Respondent, the District Clerk of

Harris County, is ordered to file a response, addressing whether they received Applicant's pleadings,

         1
         It appears that the original writ filed is still pending under authority of an order
designating issues signed on October 20, 2011.

                                                                                          RECORDER'S MEMORAND~M
                                                                                          This instrument is of poor quality
                                                                                                at the time of imaging

              and, if so, stating whether they were filed. If the pleadings were received and filed, the District

              Clerk's response shall include proof establishing the date offiling. Ifthe pleadings were received

              but not filed, the District Clerk shall detail its rationale for not filing them.

                      This motion 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.
