this motion Relator will show this Honorable Court the following:
JURISDICTION
Jurisdiction for the Court of criminal Appeals is invoted pur-
suant to Tex. Gov't. Code 22.221 andalso Texas Constitution
Art.5§8.
I
This Mandamus is sought to compel the Harris County Distriet
Chris Daniel to perform a ministeriel act of whieh the clerk has
no discreation. This duty is to forward Relator's 11.07 to the
COurt of Crimina~s within_35 days after Relator filed it if the
trial court does not desiqnate unresolved issues. Relator filed
his 11.07 on March 9,2015. Therefore the trial court has now held
Relator 11.07 6ver nine (9) MONTHS,AS SUCH PURSUANT TO Tex. Code
Crim. Proc.Art. 11.07 § 3 (B) (C). Thr Respondence has a ~inis
terial duty to immediately forward Relator's 11.07 to the Court
of Crimmnal Appeals-. This Honorable Court has previously faced
with the same problems,and issued a writ of Mandamus to compel
the District Clerk to immediately forward the 11.07 to the Court
of Criminal Appeals. See Martin V. Hamlin,25 s.w. 3d 718,719{
Tex. Crim. App. 2000) : " the distr·ict Clerk has no authority to
coritinue to hold Relator's application for Writ of Habeas Corpus
and is under a ministerial duty to immediately forward the appli-
cation and related records in 35 days pursuant to 11.07 §§ 3(8)
(C),in Ex parte Terry Donald Martin,Writ no. W96-00065-P(A) in
the 203rd Judicial District Court. We conditionally grant Mand-
amus relief and direct Respondent Daniel to comply with this
opinion.
~§Relator a~ ~equired by~~ex. R. Crim. Proc. Rule 694 on Dec.2,
2015,sent the letter of intent to ·file a Writ of Mandamus if he
did not forward the 11.07 to the Court of _Criminal Appeals. See
attached Exhibit A.
WWerefore,Premises Considered,Rel~tor prays this Honor~ble
Court grant this motion and issue an ord~r to the Respondent to
immediately forward Relator's 11.07 and all related documents to
the Courtt of Criminal Appeals and grant Relator any other or
additional relief he is justly entitled to,it is so prayed.
