See id. 20.1(i)(4), (j)(3), 34.5(c)(1). If the trial court did not conduct a hearing or sign an order extending the time to conduct the hearing within 10 days after the contest was filed, the trial clerk should promptly notify the Clerk of this Court. See id. 20.1(i)(2)(A), (i)(4).

The supplemental clerk’s record on indigence is due to be filed with the Clerk for the First Court of Appeals no later than December 4, 2015.
