Description
We are presented with two Petitions for Writ of Mandamus, both filed by Pat Walker & Company, Inc., (Walker). These petitions arose out of a case tried in the District Court of San Jacinto County wherein Walker was plaintiff and cross-defendant. The trial court rendered judgment against Walker who perfected an appeal to the Ninth Court of Civil Appeals. An appeal bond in the amount of $500.00 was filed with the District Clerk of San Jacinto County. Mary L. Johnson (Johnson) was the Official Court Reporter for the trial court. Upon written request by Walker containing a promise to pay reasonable fees for her services, Johnson prepared a statement of facts but refused to deliver it to Walker before she was paid her fees which she set at $2,600.00. Walker filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus with the Ninth Court of Civil Appeals seeking an order commanding Johnson to deliver the statement of facts. At the direction of the Court of Civil Appeals, Walker filed objections to the Court Reporter fees in the trial court. The trial court held a hearing on the objections and overruled them, finding the fees were reasonable.
