The Texas Affidavit of Indigence (Original Proceeding) is a legal document used by a person to declare their indigence in the state of Texas. It outlines the individual’s current financial situation and is necessary for them to receive state-provided assistance. This document must be completed and signed by an individual who is requesting a fee waiver or other relief from the court in an original legal proceeding. There are two types of Texas Affidavit of Indigence (Original Proceeding): the Family Code Affidavit of Indigence and the Civil Practice and Remedies Code Affidavit of Indigence. The Family Code Affidavit of Indigence is used in family law cases and proceedings, such as divorce, child custody, and child support. The Civil Practice and Remedies Code Affidavit of Indigence is used in civil matters, such as contract disputes, personal injury, and property disputes. Both forms require the individual to provide detailed financial information, such as income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. Additionally, both forms must be notarized to be legally valid.
