^[1]  This may be an appeal de novo to the 113th District Court from a tax master.  See, e.g., City of Houston v. Alief I.S.D., 117 S.W.3d 913 (Tex. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] 2003, no pet.).  Appellant filed a notice of appeal in the 113th to Athe District Court de novo.@ Further, the court reporter notified this court that the case was Aa tax suit and was tried in the Harris County Tax Court.@  However, we cannot verify the procedural history of the case without a clerk=s record.
