Tex. R. App. P. 69.4
Clerk's Duties
(a) On Refusal or Dismissal. When the Court
refuses or dismisses a petition, the clerk will
send to the parties and the State Prosecuting
Attorney a notice informing them that the
petition was refused or dismissed. The clerk
will retain the petition and all other items
filed in the case for at least 15 days from the
date of the refusal or dismissal. At the end of
that time, if no motion for rehearing has been
timely filed, or upon the overruling or
dismissal of such a motion, the clerk will
send to the court of appeals clerk a certif ied
copy of the order refusing or dismissing the
petition (as well as any order overruling a
motion for rehearing). The clerk of the Court
of Criminal Appeals will return the appellate
record to the court of appeals clerk but will
retain the petition, and other documents filed
in the Court of Criminal Appeals.
(b) On Granting Review. If the Court grants
discretionary review, the clerk will send to
the parties and the State Prosecuting Attorney
a notice informing them that discretionary
review was granted.
