County, is ordered to file a response, which may be made by submitting the records on such habeas
corpus applications, submitting a copy of a timely filed order which 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 Gregg County since the last
applications this Court ruled on in February of 2018. Should the response include an order
designating issues, proof of the date the district attorney’s office was served with the habeas
applications and that the 180-day time frame set out in TEX . R. APP . P. 73.4(b)(5) has not expired
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.
