IN RE RONROYAL J. OWENS, Relator
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NOS. W98-01040-(T)B & W98-67384-T(B)
IN THE DISTRICT COURT
FROM DALLAS COUNTY
Per curiam.
ORDER
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 applications for writs of habeas corpus in
a District Court of Dallas County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that the applications
have not yet been forwarded to this Court.
In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. Respondent, the District Clerk of Dallas
County, is ordered to file a response, which may be made by submitting the records on such habeas
corpus applications, submitting copies of timely filed orders which designate issues to be
investigated (see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578, 579 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992)), or stating that
2
Relator has not filed applications for writs of habeas corpus in Dallas County. Should the response
include orders designating issues, proof of the date the district attorney’s office was served with the
habeas applications 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.
