Appellant filed a notice of appeal on October 16, 2013. On November 1, 2013, appellant filed an affidavit of indigence in this court. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1(h). On November 5, 2013, this court set a ten-day deadline for a contest to the affidavit of indigence.

Accordingly, we direct the trial court to make written findings as to whether appellant is entitled to proceed without payment of costs and submit those findings to this court in the form of a supplemental clerk’s record. The court reporter shall file a reporter’s record from the hearing and any exhibits admitted at the hearing on the contest to appellant’s claim of indigence. The record of the hearing and the trial court’s written findings shall be filed with the clerk of this court on or before 30 days from the date of this order. PER CURIAM
