Opinion

COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON

ORDER

Appellate case name: Tom J. Jones v. Home Holdings LP, and SWE Homes, First Castle Homes LP LLC and Juan Pareja

Appellate case number: 01-18-00134-CV

Trial court case number: 1105466

Trial court: County Civil Court at Law No. 2

Appellant filed a statement of inability to afford payment of court costs in the trial court. The appellate record does not indicate that the trial court overruled the party’s claim of indigence. See TEX. R. APP. 20.1(b)(1). Appellant also filed a statement of inability to afford costs in this Court. We construe appellant’s filing as his communication that he is presumed indigent. See TEX. R. APP. 20.1(b)(2). Appellant may therefore proceed on appeal without payment of costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(b)(1).

The Clerk of this Court is ORDERED to make an entry in this Court’s records that appellant is indigent and is allowed to proceed on appeal without payment of costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(b)(1).
