no later than 30 days from the date of the indigency hearing. The trial court clerk shall file a

        The appeal is abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this Court’s active
docket. The appeal will be reinstated on this Court’s active docket when the clerk’s record and
reporter’s record of the hearing are filed with this Court.
