Emmanuel Offiong James v. Miriam Sebastian James
300th District Court of Brazoria County Trial court case No: 116151-F
ORDER
Sherry Radack, Judge
Appellant filed a statement of inability to afford payment of court 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. 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).
