ORDER
Appellant is an inmate acting pro se in a civil suit. Appellant asserts he is indigent, but he did not file an affidavit of indigence "in the trial court with or before the notice of appeal." TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(c)(1) (emphasis added).
On June 1, 2016, we abated this appeal so any party could filed a contest to Appellant's affidavit of indigence. We ordered any party wishing to file a contest to file it in this court by June 13, 2016. No contest was timely filed. For purposes of this appeal, Appellant is indigent. "[T]he trial court clerk and the court reporter must prepare the appellate record without prepayment." TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(k).
We REINSTATE the appellate timetable. The clerk's and reporter's records are due within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order.
