Maribel Woodard v. McDonalds' Corporation HK Management, Inc D/B/A McDonald/ 307097 and Manager, McDonalds Restaurant 307097

                              COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE
                         FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON

                                          ORDER

Appellate case name:        Maribel Woodard v. McDonald’s Corporation HK
                            Management, Inc d/b/a McDonald/037097 and Manager,
                            McDonalds Restaurant #307097

Appellate case number:      01-17-00204-CV

Trial court case number:    2013-58383

Trial court:                269th District Court of Harris County

       The Clerk of this Court’s March 24, 2017 notice to the district clerk requested an
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 TEX. R. APP. 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.
