IN RE RODNEY JOHN RAMIREZ, Relator

---

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

CAUSE NO. 54210-243 IN THE 243RD DISTRICT COURT

FROM EL PASO 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 in July 2009, he filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in the 243rd District Court of El Paso County, that this application was returned because it was not on the prescribed form, and that in April 2013, he filed a new application that was on the prescribed form. 

            In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. Respondent, the District Clerk of El Paso 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 that designates issues to be investigated (see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578, 579 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992)), or stating that Relator has not filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in El Paso County in this cause in April 2013. 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.
