BRIAN E. VODICKA, Appellant v. MICHAEL B. TOBOLOWSKY, EXECUTOR OF THE ESTATE OF IRA E. TOBOLOWSKY, Appellee
On Appeal from the 14th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-15-08135
ORDER
Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Lang-Miers, and Justice Stoddart
Before the Court is appellant's July 10, 2017 Motion for Determination of Indigency. Relying on a former version of rule of appellate procedure 20.1, appellant asserts that he should be deemed indigent because the trial court failed to either conduct a hearing or sign an order extending the time to conduct a hearing within ten days after the contest was filed. Rule 20.1 was amended effective September 1, 2016 and no longer contains that time restriction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1; TEX. R. CIV. P. 145(f)(5). Accordingly, we DENY appellant's motion.
We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this order to the Honorable Donald J. Cosby, sitting by assignment, and all parties.
