FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 146TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 236,117-B, HONORABLE ALAN MAYFIELD, JUDGE PRESIDING

ORDER PER CURIAM Appellants Jerry Scarbrough, Denise Steele, and Melissa Victoria Deaton filed a motion on February 19, 2013, challenging the trial court’s orders sustaining contests to their indigency. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1(j)(1). Appellees Helen Purser, Sue E. Purser a/k/a Sue E.

Van Zanten, Gary W. Purser, Jr., Joann M. Purser, and Elizabeth H. Tipton filed a response in opposition.

Having reviewed the motion, the response, and the record, we conclude that the trial court’s orders did not constitute an abuse of its discretion. See Kastner v. Texas Bd. of Law Exam’rs, No. 03-08-00515-CV, 2009 Tex. App. LEXIS 6381, at *5 (Tex. App.—Austin Aug. 12, 2009, no pet.) (mem. op.) (applying abuse-of-discretion standard to review trial court’s order sustaining indigency contest). As such, we deny appellants’ motion. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1(j)(4).

It is ordered on February 27, 2013.

Before Justices Puryear, Rose and Goodwin
