by the First Court of Appeals Clerk that since the order of Transfer was signed a
copy of the record could not be checked out (parties were allowed to checkout
record on disc for 7 days at no cost). Adams contacted the clerk for the Fourth
Court of Appeals and was informed a request would have to be mailed in with
payment of $111.50 for the record. Adams’ asked if record could be e-mail but
was instructed the request could not be granted. The Adams are the Appellants and

cost $299) but was also denied copy of record from Harris county district clerk that
filed record. Adams has set up payment of $111.50 that will be overnight for
arrival on June 1st 2015. Adams has sent pre-paid return to posted for record to be
shipped to alternate address as Adams will be on vacation (traveling out of town to
see parents) but understand set vacation does not change brief will be due at time
of extension if granted by this Honorable Court. Adams will check court website
