COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
GORDON DEAN HALEY, ANTON SCOTT HALEY, GORDON DEAN HALEY AS INDEPENDENT CO-EXECUTOR OF THE ESTATE OF MARGARET L. HALEY, AND ANTON SCOTT HALEY AS INDEPENDENT CO-EXECUTOR OF THE ESTATE OF MARGARET L. HALEY, Appellants, v.
BENEFICIAL FINANCIAL I INC., SUCCESSOR BY MERGER TO BENEFICIAL TEXAS, INC., Appellee.
On appeal from the 94th District Court of Nueces County, Texas.
ORDER Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Longoria and Tijerina Order Per Curiam This matter is before the court on Appellants’ First Notice of Appeal of Order of
Abatement and/or Motion to Stay Order which we construe as a motion to lift abatement
and a motion to stay. On January 26, 2021, the Clerk of the Court notified appellants,
Gordon Dean Haley and Anton Scott Haley, that they were delinquent in remitting a
$205.00 filing fee. To date, the trial court clerk’s record has not been received by this
court. On January 28, 2021, Appellant, Gordon Dean Haley, filed an affidavit
of indigence.
Accordingly, on February 11, 2021, we abated the cause and ordered the trial court
clerk, the court reporter, or any party to this cause wanting to challenge appellant’s claim
of indigence filed on January 26, 2021, to file such a contest to appellants’ declaration of
inability to pay costs in the trial court within ten days from the date of the order.
Appellants’ motion objects to the order and argues it extends a deadline to object to
appellants’ statement of inability to pay beyond the time allowed.
Because we have no record before us indicating a statement of inability to pay was
filed in the trial court, we GRANT the motion to lift abatement and DENY the motion to
stay. Accordingly, our February 11, 2021 order is WITHDRAWN and this case is
REINSTATED.
The trial court is further ordered to cause the clerk’s record be filed in this case, in
accordance with appellants’ designation of record, if any. Pursuant to Texas Rule of
Appellate Procedure 34.4(c), we further designate the following items to be included in
the record:
1. All statements and affidavits of inability to pay or claims of indigence,
2 2. All documents challenging appellants’ claim of indigence, and
3. All orders and findings related to claims of indigency, if any.
The trial court shall cause the clerk’s record to be filed with the clerk of this court
within 10 days from the date of this order.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed on the 19th day of March, 2021.
