The district clerk properly forwarded this application to this Court under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 73.4(b)(5).

The trial court shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law within ninety days from the date of this order. The district clerk shall then immediately forward to this Court the trial court’s findings and conclusions and the record developed on remand, including, among other things, affidavits, motions, objections, proposed findings and conclusions, orders, and transcripts from hearings and depositions. See TEX . R. APP . P. 73.4(b)(4). Any extensions of time must be requested by the trial court and obtained from this Court.
