Order entered September 21, 2021

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-21-00717-CV JOE ERVIN LOCKRIDGE, Appellant V. ASHLEY RENEE SAYLORS, NANCY KNOX-BIERMAN, AND STEPHANIE MARTIN, Appellees On Appeal from the 298th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-21-02578 ORDER Before the Court is appellant’s motion for extension of time to file an affidavit of inability to pay costs. We note the clerk’s record contains a copy of an affidavit of inability to pay filed on September 9, 2020 and a copy of an affidavit of inability to pay filed on February 25, 2021. Because nothing reflects the trial court ordered appellant to pay costs, appellant is not required to pay costs, and an affidavit of inability to pay costs need not be filed in this Court. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145; TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1. Accordingly, we DENY appellant’s motion as moot.
