                     IN THE INTEREST OF I.M.B. ET AL CHILDREN,

                    From the 45th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                 Trial Court No. 2009-PA-00997
                             Honorable Dick Alcala, Judge Presiding

                                           ORDER

         This is an accelerated appeal pursuant to section 263.405 of the Texas Family Code.
Appellant has filed a notice of appeal stating his intent to appeal from the trial court’s judgment
terminating his parental rights. The clerk’s record was due March 18, 2013. On March 22, 2013,
the trial court clerk filed a notification of late clerk’s record stating that appellant is not entitled
to appeal without paying the fee and appellant has failed to pay the fee for preparing the record.
However, pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 20.1(a)(3), in “a suit filed by a
governmental entity in which termination of the parent-child relationship or managing
conservatorship is requested, a parent determined by the trial court to be indigent is presumed to
remain indigent for the duration of the suit and any subsequent appeal, as provided by section
107.013 of the Family Code, and may proceed without advance payment of costs.” TEX. R. APP.
P. 20.1(a)(3). The trial court clerk has informed this court that the trial court found appellant to
be indigent. Therefore, we ORDER the trial court clerk to file the clerk’s record on or before
April 4, 2013.

court on this 25th day of March, 2013.
