TOMMIE MELVIN BANKS, Relator


v.


HARRIS COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent





ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

CAUSE NO. 755115 IN THE 177TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

FROM HARRIS 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 he filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in the 177th Judicial District Court of Harris County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that the application has not yet been forwarded to this Court.

            On July 28, 2010, we held this application in abeyance and ordered the respondent, the District Clerk of Harris County, to file a response. In our abeyance order, we stated that if the respondent submits an order designating issues, it shall also state when the State received Relator’s application. On January 13, 2011, we received a copy of an order designating issues, but the respondent did not state when the State received Relator’s habeas application. 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.
