Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas September 23, 2020

No. 04-20-00433-CV

Eric E. DELEON-BOLADO, Appellant

v.

Lorraine M. DELEON, Appellee

From the 224th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020-CI-07162 Honorable Donna S. Rayes, Judge Presiding

ORDER

In conjunction with his notice of appeal, Appellant Eric Eduardo Deleon-Bolado filed a Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs on September 4, 2020. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(c). The statement is incomplete. It does not show Appellant’s total monthly income or total monthly expenses. Without this information, this court cannot determine whether Appellant is unable to afford to pay court costs for this appeal. If Appellant wishes to proceed without payment of court costs on appeal, Appellant must file in this court a fully completed Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(c); TEX. R. CIV. P. 145(b), (e). A copy of the statement is attached. We respectfully advise court reporter Karen Kane that, to require Appellant to pay costs notwithstanding a properly filed statement, the movant must file a motion that complies with Rule 145(f). See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145 (f)(3) (court reporter). A notification of late record does not meet Rule 145(f)’s requirements. The deadline for the court reporter’s record is SUSPENDED pending further order of this court. _________________________________ Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
