The Second Administrative Judicial Region’s rules (Code of Criminal Procedure art. 26.05(c)) for appointed counsel to appeal a trial court’s or Managed Assigned Counsel Director’s disapproval of, or failure to act on, a request for payment of appointed-attorney fees. Counsel files an original motion with the clerk and forwards copies to the Regional Presiding Judge and the payment authority within 20 days of a disapproval order (or within 80 days if the authority fails to act), setting out the enumerated case and billing details; the Presiding Judge abates ruling at least 10 days for the payment authority to reconsider, then rules under art. 26.05(c) on the form order in Appendix B, with the Judge’s/Director’s findings on the Appendix A forms.

The Presiding Judge abates ruling ≥10 days for reconsideration; if unresolved within 20 days, the Presiding Judge rules under art. 26.05(c) (Appendix B order), and the payment authority files written findings (Appendix A). The commissioners court must pay the approved amount no later than the 45th day after submission.
