Appellant, Ernest C. Adimore-Nweke, filed a motion asking this Court to declare him indigent in these two appeals. The Court abated these appeals in order for the trial court to hold a hearing to hear evidence and issue findings of fact to determine whether appellant is indigent. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(b)(3). On January 16, 2020, the trial court was ordered to have a court reporter, or court recorder, record the hearing and file the reporter’s record with this Court no later than 30 days from the date of the indigency hearing. The trial court clerk was ordered to file a clerk’s record containing the trial court’s findings no later than 30 days from the date of the indigency hearing.

An information sheet submitted by court reporter Pam Gwin Coder indicates there were indigency hearings on February 6, 2020 and February 12, 2020. The court reporter is ordered to file the reporter’s record from the indigency hearings within 30 days from the date of this order. The trial court clerk is ordered to file the supplemental clerk’s record containing the trial court’s ruling and findings of fact no later than 30 days of the trial court’s determination as to whether appellant is indigent.1

It is so ORDERED.
