From the 454th Judicial District Court, Medina County, Texas Trial Court No. 20-10-26710-CV Honorable Daniel J. Kindred, Judge Presiding

ORDER

REBECA C. MARTINEZ, CHIEF JUDGE

On April 7, 2022, appellant filed his notice of appeal. On April 18, 2022, this court filed a notice stating that the fee for filing appeals in this court had not been paid. On June 10, 2022, appellant filed an "Application to Proceed in Forma Pauperis" stating that because of his poverty, he is unable to pay the filing fee.

Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 20.1 provides that an "appellate court may permit a party who did not file a Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs in the trial court to proceed without payment of costs," and that the court "may require the party to file a Statement in the appellate court." See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1(c). We interpret appellant's "Application to Proceed in Forma Pauperis" as a Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs and permit him to proceed without payment of costs. See id.

Appellant's brief is due thirty days from the date of this order. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6.
