EX PARTE A. PLAINTIFF'S .:THIRD APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:
COMES NOW, WILLIE JAMES ATKINS, EX PARTE, Pro Se, in the above entitled and numbered cause, Ptirsuant to TEX.GOV'T Code Ann.§22.221- (a)(b) and T.C.C.P. Art. 11.07, Sections 3(d) and 7~ and would respectfully show the following:
B. RELATOR EX PARTE 1.01 \-lillie James Atkins, TDCJ #1441701 is an offender incarcerated in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), filing this THIRD application pro se, who can be located at t1ark W. Stiles Unit - 3060 FM 3514 - Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas 77705.
C. CASE liiS'IDRY 2.01 On March 1, 2010, Applicant filed an ORIGINAL APPLICATION FOR Article 11.07 Writ Of Habeas Corpus, No. 74,886-01. 2.02 On April 6, 2010, convicting court decided that there were *3 controverted, previously unresolved facts which are material to the legality of the applicant's confinement, and thereby signed "ORDER DESIGNATING ISSUES," appointing Catherine Bernhard as state's attorney to resolve the issues and prepare FINDINGS OF FACT and CONCLUSION OF LAW for the Court, pursuant to T.C.C.P. Art. 11.07, Sec. 3(d).
2.03 FURTHER STATING: The above named attorney does not represent the applicant. Applicant is not entitled to counsel at this time. No ORDERS were issued by the convicting court to provide applicant a copy of said findings.
2.04 Applicant's Original Application for Article 11.07 Writ of Habeas Corpus No. 74,886-01 was denied on 11-10-2010 by Court of Criminal Appeals without written orders based on the findings of the trial court.
III.
C. ARTICLE 11.07 TEXAS OODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE 3. 01 T. C. C. P. Article 11.07, Section 7, requires.: ''WHEN TilE ATIDRNEY FOR TilE STATE FILES AN ANSWER·_ MOTION, OR OiliER PLEADING ;.·RELATING TO AN APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS COUPUS, TilE CLERK OF TilE COURT SHALL MAIL OR DELIVER TO TilE APPLICANT A COPY OF TilE ANSWER, MOTION; PLEADING or ORDER.''
3.02 . TO DATE, despite more than fifty (50) documented pages of requests to court clerks, officials, in addi~ion to pleadings with the court, I have never received a copy of the State's FINDINGS OF FACT/ ANSWER, Motion, or Pleading of the Attorney appointed by the State, thus the STATE'S ATTORNEY. (Please SEE APPENDIX).
3.03 Had such documents been mailed or delivered to applicant by clerks, as required by statute, applicant would have received NOTICE from TDCJ Officials, requiring a RECORD of all such Legal C?rrespondence. .~o such record exists.
3.04 As is clear from Applicant's "ORIGINAL" and "SECOND" .1\PPLICANTION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS, (SEE APPENDIX), that IN TilE INTEREST OF JUSTICE,· Applicant seeks information concerning the activity and findings of Application For Writ of Habeas Corpus No. 74,886-01, attempting to prove claims of ACTUAL INNOCENCE.
2. *4 3.05 In any effort at FURTHER REDRESS THROUGH THE COURTS, the Applicant has the burden of rebutting the presumption of correctness by CLEAR and CONVINCING EVIDENCE of the convicting court's FINDINGS OF FACTS. (See Richardson -v- Quarterman, 537 F3d 436, 472-73 (5th Cir.2008). A burden made impossible without a copy of the REQUESTED FINDINGS OF FACTS/ ANSvJER.
3.06 Plaintiff contends that Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus 74,886-01 •' was decided on an incomplete record submitted by State's Attorney. 3.07 Evidence in COURT RECORDS will show, State's ORIGINAL and SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE to Application For Writ of Habeas Corpus No. 74,886-01, failed to INCLUDE THE DETAILS provided by Applicant in his SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF TO \\IRIT OF HABEAS
CORPUS, WITH PRO SE EXHIBITS.
3.08 Said OMITTED DETA~ and PRO SE EXHIBITS were necessary for the EFFECTIVE, FAIR, and MEANINGFUL RESOLUTION of Article 11.07 Application. (See Coppedge -v- United States, 369 U.S. 438 (1963).
3.09 On December 29, 2014, Applicant received confirmation from Texas State Law Library that Applicant's SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF TO \-JRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS, with PRO- SE EXHIBITS are indeed on file, and could have been included in the State's Attorney AC~~OWLEDGEMENT/ O~IGINAL RESPONSE/ SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE at any time before file was foL-warded to the Court of Criminal Appeals for FINAL JUDGMENT.
3.10 ·IN ADDITION, NEWLY DISCOVERED EVIDENCE FAVORABLE TO THE DEFENSE, WITHHELD BY THE STATE will further support my claims for ACTUAL INI'i!OCENCE, with a need for requested FINDINGS OF FACTS elevated to URGENT-!

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Evans, and Whitehill Opinion by Justice Evans Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus requesting that.the court order the district clerk, whom he identifies as Gary Fitzsimmons, [1] to provide relator with a copy ofthe trial court's findings of fact and conclusions of law with regard to his petition for writ of habeas corpus. The Court's power to issue a writ of mandamus is set forth in section 22.221 of the Texas Government Code. Because the Dallas County District Clerk is not a judge, the district clerk falls within the Court's mandamus jurisdiction only to the extent necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. See TEX. Gov'T CoDE ANN. § 22.22l(a), (b) (West 2004) (writ power). This Court does not have jurisdiction over post-conviction habeas corpus proceedings relating to felony convictions. See TEX. CODE CRIM. P. ANN. art. 11.05 (West) (by whom writ may be granted). Therefore, this Court has no jurisdiction regarding any action by the Dallas County District Clerk
APX-03
*9 with regard to habeas corpus proceedings. Rather, any complaints about action or inaction on a matter related to a post-conviction petition for writ of habeas corpus must be brought by mandamus to the court of criminal appeals and not to this Court. in re McAfee, 53 S.W.3d 715, 717 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding).
Because we lack jurisdiction, we DISMISS the petition. /David Evans/ DAVID EVANS JUSTICE

1.02 Relator has exhausted all remedies and'has no other adequate remedy at law. 1.03 The Act sought to be compelled is ministerial in nature, T.C.C.P. Article 11.07 Section 3(d) allows if the convicting court decides that there are controverted, previously unresolved facts which are material to the legality of the applicant's confinement ...
