JENNIFER FERRELL BRANTLEY, Appellant

V.

THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN, MELISSA JONES-
WOMMACK, IN HER OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF STUDENT CONDUCT AND ACADEMIC INTEGRITY,
AND DR. MICHAEL SCOTT WOLFORD, IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY
AS PROFESSOR OF GOVERNMENT, Appellees

On Appeal from the 201st Judicial District Court
Travis County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. D-1-GN-25-006792

APPELLANT’S NOTICE OF PRESUMED INDIGENCE

Appellant, Jennifer Ferrell Brantley, files this notice to recognize and invoke

presumed indigence for purposes of appellate filing fees and to request that she be

permitted to proceed without payment under Tex. R. App. P. 20.1(b)(2).
Appellant previously filed a Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of

Court Costs in the trial court in Cause No. D-1-GN-25-006792 on August 22,

2025, under Tex. R. Civ. P. 145. The trial court has not signed an order overruling

Appellant’s Statement in compliance with Rule 145. Accordingly, Appellant

provides prompt notice that she is excused from paying costs under the rules and

requests to proceed without payment since this information was not included in the

Notice of Appeal dated December 18, 2025.

Dated: January 7, 2026.

Respectfully submitted,
