Joseph Andrew Beach v. Christine Nicole Beach
ORDER Trial court case number: 18-DCV-0224 Trial court: 328th District Court
Appellant filed an affidavit of inability to pay costs in the trial court. The appellate record does not indicate that the trial court overruled the party's claim of indigence. See TEX. R. APP. 20.1(b)(1). Appellant also filed an an affidavit of inability to afford costs in this Court. We construe appellant's filing as his communication that he is presumed indigent. See TEX. R. APP. 20.1(b)(2). Appellant may therefore proceed on appeal without payment of costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(b)(1).
The Clerk of this Court is ORDERED to make an entry in this Court's records that appellant is indigent and is allowed to proceed on appeal without payment of costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(b)(1).
The trial court clerk is ORDERED to provide a complete copy of the clerk's record and the reporter's record to appellant without charge. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145. Judge's signature: /s/ Chief Justice Sherry Radack
