Before the Court is Kelly Dean Hollingsworth's motion for extension of time to file Rule 145(g)(1) motion and the Rule 145(g)(1) motion. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145(g)(1), (2). We GRANT the extension motion. The Rule 145 (g)(1) motion filed May 24, 2017 is deemed timely.
The motion was filed jointly with K. Hollingsworth & Associates, P.C. However, under the rules of civil procedure, K. Hollingsworth & Associates is not authorized to bring a Rule 145(g)(1) motion. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145(g)(1).
Pursuant to Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 145(g)(3), we ORDER Official Court Reporter Vielica Dobbins to file a reporter's record of the hearing on the contest to Hollingsworth's affidavit of indigency. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145(g)(3). We further ORDER Dallas County District Clerk Felicia Pitre to file a supplemental clerk's record containing the affidavit of indigence, all contests, and the trial court's order sustaining the contests. See id. The requested reporter's and clerk's records shall be filed without prepayment of costs no later than May 30, 2017. See id. Extension motions will be disfavored.
We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this order to Ms. Dobbins, Ms. Pitre, and the parties.
