IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-80,408-01
IN RE JOSE J. SANTIAGO, Relator
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NO. 1161112 IN THE 248TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM HARRIS COUNTY
Per curiam.
O R D E R
Relator has filed a motion for leave to file an application for 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 248th 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 October 30, 2013, this Court held in abeyance and ordered the district clerk to respond as to why the application had not been forwarded.
On November 12, 2013, this Court received a response from Harris County, indicating the application had been delivered to the District Attorney on March 11, 2013, and that the district court entered a timely order designating issues on April 16, 2013. Relator’s habeas application still has not been received by this Court.
Respondent, the Judge of the 248th District Court of Harris County, shall file a response with this Court by having the District Clerk submit the record on such habeas corpus application. In the alternative, Respondent may resolve the issues set out in the order designating issues and then have the District Clerk submit the record on such application. In either case, Respondent’s answer shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order. This application for leave to file a writ of mandamus will be held in abeyance until Respondent has submitted the appropriate response.
