Karen Williamson v. Balbir Chahal
125th District Court of Harris County Trial Court Case No. 2021-14298
ORDER
Peter Kelly, Justice.
The clerk's record was filed on December 6, 2021. The clerk's record contains a statement of inability to afford payment of court costs filed in the trial court on February 8, 2021. The record contains no written order determining that appellant is able to afford court costs. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 145(a).
Accordingly, this Court finds that appellant is unable to afford court costs in the appellate court. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1(a) (party who filed statement of inability in trial court is not required to pay appellate court costs unless trial court overruled claim of indigence in written order under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 145). The Clerk of this Court is directed to deem appellant unable to afford costs on appeal, including the costs for the appellate record and for any filing fees. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 145(a); Tex.R.App.P. 20.1(a).
It is so ORDERED.
