            Paul
J. Della Rocco has filed an appeal from the trial court’s dismissal of his health
care liability suit.  Upon being notified that the filing fees and the record
were due, appellant filed in this court an affidavit of indigency.  The court
reporter and the district clerk have each filed a contest in this court.  We
abate the appeal and, pursuant to Tex.
R. App. P. 20.1(h)(4), refer the contest to the trial court. 
            The
trial court is directed to comply with Tex.
R. App. P. 20.1 in conducting a hearing to determine whether appellant
is indigent.  Unless a written order sustaining the contest is timely entered, appellant
will be allowed to proceed without advance payment of costs.  Rule 20.1(i). 
The trial court clerk is directed to forward to this court on or before July 14,
2011, a supplemental clerk’s record containing any orders and findings entered
by the trial court with respect to the contest.  This appeal will be reinstated
upon receipt of the supplemental clerk’s record.
