David Allan EDWARDS, Appellant v. COUNTY OF ATASCOSA, Appellee
From the 81st Judicial District Court, Atascosa County, Texas
Trial Court No. 12-02-0185-CVA-A
Honorable Thomas F. Lee, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant David Allan Edwards, an inmate acting pro se, filed a notice of appeal in the trial court on October 16, 2013. In his notice of appeal, Appellant stated that he is currently incarcerated and indigent. In a letter filed with this court on December 18, 2013, Appellant reasserted his indigent status.
Because Appellant is an inmate and asserts he cannot pay costs, Appellant must file in this court within TWENTY DAYS of the date of this order (1) a separate affidavit listing the previous pro se actions he has brought and (2) a certified copy of his inmate trust account statement. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 14.002(a) (West Supp. 2013) (applying affidavit and other requirements to inmate appeals effective January 1, 2012); id. § 14.004 (requiring a pro se inmate asserting inability to pay costs to file a detailed list of previous pro se actions and a certified copy of the inmate's trust account statement).
