       RE:      Court of Appeals Numbers: 05-18-00633-CV and 05-18-00634-CV

       Style: In Re Darlene C. Balistreri-Amrhein


       Ms. Balistreri-Amrhein:

               The Court is in receipt of your Request to Proceed In Forma Pauperis and your Statement
       of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs or an Appeal Bond, which were filed on May 30,
       2018. Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 20.1(a) and (c), you are allowed to
       proceed without payment of the appellate court filing fees. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(a),(c).
       However, fees charged by the trial court clerk or court reporter for preparation of the appellate
       record, if necessary, are governed by Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 145. See id. 20.1(a).


                                            Respectfully,

                                            /s/ Lisa Matz, Clerk of the Court
