The Clerk of this Court’s March 24, 2017 notice to the district clerk requested an Clerk indigent clerk’s record by April 28, 2017, after appellant had filed a “Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs or an Appeal Bond” (“Statement”), which is a new affidavit of indigence form approved by the Texas Supreme Court. This Statement was filed by appellant, Maribel Woodard, in both this Court and the district court on March 13, 2017. Instead, on April 18, 2017, the district clerk filed an information sheet in this Court stating that the clerk’s record will not be filed because the appellant has not made payment arrangements.

Rule 20.1 provides that a party who files such a Statement in the trial court will not have to pay costs in the appellate court unless the trial court overruled the party’s claim of indigence in an order that complies with Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 145. See T EX . R. A PP . P. 20.1(b)(1) (amended; eff. Sept. 1, 2016). However, the Court is unable to determine whether a contest was filed or if the trial court overruled this claim of indigence in such an order. See id.

Accordingly, th e Court ORDERS the d i s t r i c t clerk to file a supplemental clerk’s record containing the attached appellant’s “Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs or an Appeal Bond in Justice Court,” any contests filed, and any order granting or overruling appellant’s indigence claim. The supplemental clerk’s record on indigence shall be filed in this Court within 20 days of the date of this order.

It is so ORDERED. Judge’s signature: /s/ Laura Carter Higley  Acting individually Date: May 4, 2017

ACCEPTED
