15. My youngest son who lives with me and my spouse recently underwent a series of medical tests and required major surgery to correct his bladder and ureter. A majority of the medical testing, the surgery and hospital stay were at Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi Texas This required several trips to and from Corpus Christi Texas. I have incurred medical expenses for the medical testing, surgery and hospital stay, as well as transportation and lodging. This has also caused me to take time off from work and limited my ability to produce my self-employment income. In addition, my son is scheduled for another minor surgery on Monday, August 18, 2014 and will require further follow up appointments and medical testing. This and back to school expenses have made it impossible for my spouse and I to pay for neither the court reporter's transcript.
16. An attorney is providing free legal services to me for this appeal.
17. Based on this information I am unable to pay for the Court Reporter's transcript.
I, MARCOS JUAREZ, III swear under oath that the facts stated above are true and correct."
