Stanley, Terry Andrew, PD-0709-15

Defendant Stanley, Terry Andrew, acting pro se, filed a Motion To Order the Chief Clerk to send all copies of his court records and exhibits to him.
Jurisidiction lies in District Court No. 195th, Dallas County, Texas, presided by Judge Fred Tinsley, to order production of records.
Defendant was convicted January 17, 2014 in the same district court and sentenced to 30 years.
Defendant filed a series of motions/designations seeking court records (October 2014, December 2014, January 2015) with no responses from the court.
Defendant sent letters (June 2015) to appellate counsel and court staff requesting records; a 60-day extension to file related post-conviction motions was granted but records were not provided.
