Re: Cause 2014-17466; BP Amoco Exploration (In Amenas) Limited v Rene Buttaccio, Et Al in the 11th Judicial 

District Court of Harris County, Texas.

Dear Attorney Mackillop:

We have received your notice of appeal in the above referenced case. We are informing you in order for us to prepare, 

certify and timely file the clerk’s record with the appellate court that you must be in accordance with rule (35.3) of the 

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure which states:

(a) (2) The party responsible for paying for the preparation of the clerk’s record has paid the clerk’s fee, has made 

satisfactory arrangements with the clerk to pay the fee, or is entitled to appeal without paying the fee.

The estimated cost of the clerk’s record is $ 3200.00. We are requesting a deposit/payment of $2000.00 before 

proceeding in preparing the clerk’s record. After further review of your 26 pages designation of clerks record filed 

with the trial court on September 30, 2015; I found that the estimated cost of the documents you are requesting exceeds 

the $500.00 limit therefore, I have no other choice but to request advanced payment before the full preparation of your 

clerks record; Note: *As well I noticed in your trial court case file that there are several documents enclosed “under 

sealing order” therefore, those documents will not be included in your clerks record at this time; you will need to 

obtain an order signed by the trial court allowing these items be included within your clerks record under seal;

You may remit your payment in the form of a money order or cashier’s check, payable to Chris Daniel, District Clerk by 

mailing to:

 Attn: Civil / Family Post Trial

 P.O. Box 4651
