TATIYANA GENEVA ALTECOR, Appellant, v. UNITED PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellee.
On appeal from the 370th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.
ORDER OF ABATEMENT
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Longoria
Order Per Curiam
Appellant is pro se and filed a statement of inability to afford payment of court costs which we construe as a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Appellee filed a contest to the statement.
The appellate court may refer such matters to the trial court. TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(3)(B). Accordingly, we ABATE the appeal and REMAND the cause to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with this order.
Upon remand, the trial court shall hear evidence and determine whether appellant is indigent. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(3)(B). The trial court shall further cause its findings and/or order to be included in a supplemental clerk's record to be filed with the Clerk of this Court on or before the expiration of forty-five days from the date of this order.
It is so ORDERED.
PER CURIAM Delivered and filed the 30th day of July, 2020.
