Alfonso (AE) CABALLERO, Alfonso Edmundo Caballero, III, Karla Kristine Caballero and Carlos Manuel Rodriguez, Appellants v. GRANDVIEW WILDLIFE RANCH, LLC, Appellee
From the 451st Judicial District Court, Kendall County, Texas Trial Court No. 20-469 Honorable Kirsten Cohoon, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Irene Rios, Justice
On May 23, 2024 and July 1, 2024, the court reporter filed notifications of late record stating the reporter's record was not filed because appellants had failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the court reporter's fee for preparing the record and appellants were not entitled to appeal without paying the fee. On July 26, 2024, we ordered appellants to provide written proof to this court by August 5, 2024 that: (1) the reporter's fee has been paid or arrangements have been made to pay the reporter's fee; or (2) appellants are entitled to appeal without paying the reporter's fee. In our order, we noted that if appellants did not respond within the time provided, their brief would be due by August 26, 2024.
On August 6, 2024, appellant Alfonso (AE) Caballero filed a Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs or an Appeal Bond in this court. We ORDER the chief deputy clerk of this court to forward a copy of the statement to all parties, the trial court clerk, and the court reporter. If a party, the trial court clerk, or the court reporter wishes to challenge appellant Alfonso (AE) Caballero's claim of indigence, we ORDER them to file a written objection in this court by August 26, 2024.
Appellants Alfonso Edmundo Caballero, III, Karla Kristine Caballero, and Carlos Manuel Rodriguez did not respond to our July 26 order. However, in light of appellant Alfonso (AE) Caballero's claim of indigence, we will set a briefing deadline for the remaining appellants at a later date.
