                     IN THE TEXAS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

                                     In re Jason Childress,

                                                    Movant-Relator

                                               v.

                                  CHARLES A. STEPHENS,

                                                    Respondent

                          MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE
            PETITIONS FOR WRITS OF HABEAS CORPUS AND MANDAMUS

       Pursuant to T.R.A.P. Rule 72.1, Movant-Relator, Jason Childress, respectfully requests

leave to file Petitions for Writs of Habeas Corpus and Mandamus, in order to relieve him of the

threat of unlawful arrest due to a Capias warrant for failure to appear issued in absence of Due

Process, in that Movant was not provided notice of the hearing from which the Capias stems.

Further, Movant seeks to compel Respondent to rule on Movant's Motion or Demand for

Dismissal, as such a ruling is ministerial and Movant has no adequate remedy at law.

       WHEREFORE, Movant respectfully requests that this Court grant leave to file Petitions

for Writs of Habeas Corpus and Mandamus.

                                                                          Respectfully submitted,

                                                                     /s/: Jason Childress

                                                                                 9141 Gristmill Ct.
