David Berry v. Faith Temple Ministry Int
ORDER Trial court case number: 1128507 Trial court: County Civil Court at Law No. 3 of Harris County
In the trial court, appellant filed a document purporting to be a statement of inability to afford costs on appeal, but the form was not the one required by the rules. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145(a); TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(a). When he filed his notice of appeal, appellant filed another document purporting to be a statement of inability, but he did not file the form required by the rules. The filing of the authorized statement of inability in this court will only assist appellant in avoiding filing fees. To avoid costs of the record on appeal, the statement of inability must be filed in the trial court. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145(a).
Accordingly, a copy of the correct form is attached. Appellant must fill out this form completely and file it in the trial court. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145(a). Appellant is directed to advise this Court within 10 days of this order of the date he filed this form in the trial court.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Justice Peter Kelly
