1 Originally appealed to the Third Court of Appeals, this appeal was transferred to this Court by the Texas Supreme Court pursuant to its docket equalization efforts. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001. the appeal. To date, Holliday has neither paid the filing fee nor sought leave to proceed without payment of court costs.
