When application for a writ of habeas corpus is made to a judge whose chambers are not located within the county where the prisoner is detained, that judge shall require proof, by the oath of the applicant or other evidence:

1. (1) that there is no judge in the detaining county authorized to grant the writ;
2. (2) that judges authorized to grant the writ are absent from the detaining county;
3. (3) that judges in the detaining county for reasons specified are incapable of acting; or

4. (4) that judges in the detaining county have refused to grant the writ.

   If the proof required by this section is not produced, the application must be denied.
