                   The State of Texas
        APPEAL FROM THE 20th JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
            TRIAL COURT CAUSE NUMBER CV36,279


       APPELLANT’S MOTION TO REINSTATE APPEAL
	  
       COMES NOW Appellant LaToya Alcorn, and files Appellant’s

Motion to Reinstate Appeal, and in support thereof respectfully shows the

Court the following:

             1.     Around November 17, 2014, Appellant filed a motion to

       for extension of time to file an indigence affidavit. Tex. R. App. P. 20.

             2.     On December 23, 2014, this Court granted Appellant’s

       request for extension of time, abated the appeal, and asked the trial

       court clerk to set the deadline for contesting indigence.

             3.     On December 30, 2014, the clerk set January 9, 2015, as

       the deadline. (See Exhibit A, Letter from 20th District Clerk)
              4.      Today is January 13, 2015, Appellant’s affidavit has been

      on file well over 10 days, and no one has opposed her indigence.

              5.      Therefore, Appellant now requests this Court lift the

      abatement, and reinstate this appeal.

      THEREFORE, Appellant LaToya Alcorn files Appellant’s Motion to

Reinstate Appeal, and prays this Court will grant all relief herein requested.

                                             Respectfully submitted,
