        On July 24, 2012, appellant, Nathaniel Jones, III, filed an affidavit of indigence in the

        It is further ORDERED that Court Reporter file with this Court, within 30 days of the
date of this order and at no cost to appellant, the reporter’s record. See id.
         Appellant’s brief is ORDERED filed with this Court within 30 days after the later of the
date the clerk’s record is filed or the date the reporter’s record is filed. See TEX. R. APP. P.

is filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(b).
