Appeal from 41st District Court of El Paso County, Texas, (Tc# 20020D03174).

Before BARAJAS, C.J., McCLURE, and CHEW, JJ.


OPINION


Kathryn Forkert appeals from an order denying Appellant's request to be provided with a free appellate record. In her sole issue on appeal, Appellant asserts that the trial court abused its discretion by denying her the appellate record free of charge. The State has filed a brief stating that Appellant made a prima facie showing of indigency which the State failed to rebut. The State joins in Appellant's prayer that the trial court's order be reversed. Given the State's confession of error, we sustain Issue One and reverse the order of the trial court denying Appellant's motion for a free record. The cause is remanded to the trial court with instructions to cause the appellate record to be prepared at county expense.
