Michael Edward Strickland v. State ( 2015 )

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-14-00406-CR No. 10-14-00407-CR MICHAEL EDWARD STRICKLAND, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee From the 82nd District Court Falls County, Texas Trial Court Nos. 8032 and 8033 ORDER Appellant’s “Application to Proceed in Forma Pauperis” was filed on July 22, 2015. In his application, he states he is unable to pay in advance for attorney’s fees or to give security for any filing fees. A determination of indigence in an appellate court in a criminal proceeding only involves payment for the appellate record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.2. The appellate record has already been filed There are no other court costs associated with the appeal of a criminal proceeding. Further, payment of attorney’s fees is not a court “cost” in an appellate proceeding. Accordingly, appellant’s Application to Proceed in Forma Pauperis is dismissed as moot. PER CURIAM Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Davis, and Justice Scoggins Application dismissed as moot Order issued and filed July 30, 2015 Strickland v. State Page 2
