In the Interest of A.J., Jr., a Child
Trial court: 231st District Court of Tarrant County No. 231-716537-22
ORDER
Terry Adams, Judge
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 a statement 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. P. 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 advance payment of costs.
The court reporter is ORDERED to provide a complete copy of the reporter's record to appellant without charge. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 145.
The court reporter is ORDERED to file with this Court, within 30 days of the date of this order and at no cost to appellant, the reporter's record. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 145.
