Gary L. Milburn v. Aesha A. Lee
312th District Court of Harris County Trial court case number: 2019-85828
ORDER
Peter Kelly Judge
The clerk's record reflects that appellant filed in the trial court a statement of inability to afford court costs. The trial court did not sign a written order determining that appellant could afford payment of costs. Appellant has also filed a statement of inability in this Court.
When a statement of inability has been filed in the trial court, the appellant is not required to pay appellate court costs unless the trial court overruled the appellant's claim of indigence in an order complying with Rule 145. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1(b); Tex.R.Civ.P. 145. Here, the trial court did not overrule appellant's statement of inability. Accordingly, appellant is not required to pay costs in this Court.
The Clerk of this Court is ordered to indicate in its records that appellant is indigent and not responsible for payment of any costs on appeal.
It is so ORDERED.
