No. 05-14-00097-CV

On Appeal from the 86th District Court
Kaufman County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 89707-86
ORDER
By letter filed February 4, 2014, appellant, who is appearing pro se, states that she is indigent and unable to pay the appellate filing fee. Based on the invoice for the clerk's record, it appears appellant is also unable to pay the clerk's fee. To the extent appellant's letter can be construed as a request to proceed without payment of costs, we DENY the request without prejudice to appellant's right to file an affidavit of indigence in compliance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 20.1. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1. Any affidavit will be referred to the trial court for a determination as to the appropriate relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(h)(4). Appellant is cautioned that failure to either file an affidavit or pay the appellate filing fee within thirty days from the date of this order may result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b),(c).
