In Texas Supreme Court, Second Amended Order Regarding Mandatory Reports of Judicial Appointments and Fees, Misc. Docket No. 07-9188 (Oct. 30, 2007), as discussed in sections 27.88:5 and 27.88:8 in this chapter, the court requires approval of a receiver’s fees to be accomplished by separate written order. This form provides an example of such an order. Note that the order customarily accompanies a request for approval of a receiver’s fees, whether in a separate application or as part of an application, such as one that also requests the authority to disburse funds. An affidavit from the receiver regarding his fees may also be included in an application.
