Von's Mechanic Shop and Byron Bernard Vaughn v. Discount Auto Brokers, LLC

Opinion

COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON

ORDER

Appellate case name: Von’s Mechanic Shop and Byron Bernard Vaughn v. Discount Auto Brokers, LLC

Appellate case number: 01-18-00784-CV

Trial court case number: 1106520

Trial court: County Court at Law No. 3 of Harris County

Appellant, Byron Bernard Vaughn, 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 payment of court 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, Byron Bernard Vaughn, is indigent and is allowed to proceed on appeal without payment of costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(b)(1).

The trial court clerk is ORDERED to provide a complete copy of the clerk’s record and the reporter’s record to appellant without charge.
