Marquesha Williams v. 16303 Imperial LLC

COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER Appellate case name: Marquesha Williams v. 16303 Imperial LLC Appellate case number: 01-19-00914-CV Trial court case number: 1143136 Trial court: County Civil Court at Law No. 1 of Harris County Appellant is appealing a judgment awarding possession of leased premises to appellee. The clerk’s record has been filed and it contains appellant’s statement of inability to afford payment of court costs, filed on October 2, 2019. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145(a). The record contains no contest or order by the trial court requiring appellant to pay costs. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145(f). The status of inability to afford court costs carries forward on appeal if the trial court does not sign an order overruling the party’s claim of indigence. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(a). Because appellant filed a statement of inability and no court order requires her to pay the costs of the appellate record, appellant need not pay the fee for the appellate record. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145(a), (c). Appellant is also not required to pay the filing fees in this Court. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145(c); TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(a). It is so ORDERED.
