                               MOTION FOR REHEARING

       COMES NOW CHARLES WADE, Appellant in this cause and moving for rehearing and

in support thereof says:

Point Relied on for Rehearing:

       This Honorable First Court of Appeals should grant Appellant motion for rehearing

because the issue raised in Appellants’ appeal concern an issue of significance to the jurisprudence

of this state. Appellant raise only one issue for rehearing and this issue has been raised in this

Honorable First Court of Appeal in another case where the Supreme Court of Texas reversed the

Honorable First Court ruling and remanded back to trial court. Walker v. Blue Water Garden

Apartments, 776 S.W.2d 578 - Tex: Supreme Court 1989.

       Appellant point is based on the facts that appellant file a pauperis affidavit within the

ninety day allowed to prefect an appeal if Appellant filed a timely motion for new trial which

Appellant did in this cause. (See Exhibit 1). Much like what happen in Walker Supra, this

Honorable First Court of Appeals did not address this Appellant argument that Appellant filed

Affidavit of inability to pay court cost in the Trial Court. (See 1st Court of Appeal Judgement of

June 16, 2015, also see INTRODUCTION paragraph (4) of Appellant RESPONSE TO COURT

NOTICE OF 05/14/15 AND/OR RESPONSE TO APPELLEE MOTION TO DISMISS) (Also

see Linwood v. NCNB Texas, 885 S.W.2d 102 - Tex: Supreme Court 1994).

       Appellant contends that the Affidavit of inability to pay court cost, stamped filed

September 4, 2014, was filed 35 days after trial court judgement was signed on August 1, 2014,

was filed in a bona fide attempt to invoke appellate court jurisdiction.  UNITED ASS'N OF

JOURNEYMEN, ETC. v. Borden; accord Woods Exploration & Producing Co. v. Arkla Equip.

Co., 528 S.W.2d 568, 570 (Tex.1975)

                                                 2 
 
Argument:

          Appellant filed Affidavit of Inability to pay Court Cost "Forma Pauperis", on September

4, 2014, which was 35 days after trial court judgement was signed. In Lilnmod Supra, Linwood

corrected his own error 53 days afo.)r the judgment was signed by filing his cost bond.

          The Court of Appeal stakd in Linwood Supra, "The court of appeals, however, has

jurisdiction over the appeal if a party files an instrument in a bona fide attempt to invoke the

appellate court's jurisdiction. Grand Prairie lndep. Sch. Dist. v. Southern Parts Imports, Inc.,

813 S.W.2d 499, 500 (Tex.1991); Walker v. Blue Water Garden Apartments, 776 S.W.2d 578,

5 81 (Tex.1989)."

          Since Appellant had filed a timely motion for new trial and filed Affidavit of Inability to

pay Court cost, on September 4, 2( 14, which was 35 days after trial court judgement was signed
                                      1

                                          '

stated above, there is no other reas< m Appellant file Affidavit of Inability to pay Comi cost but to

invoke the appellate court's jurisdi<. tion.(See Exhibit 1).

Praver:

        Appellant pray that this Honorable Court set aside the Judgement of June 16, 2015, and

allow Appellant to proceed in this . \ppeal.

                                                        Respectfully Submitted,
