Payment Type

A TRX Order has 3 possible payment types: Private, Indigent, and Other Govt Paid.

Private transcript orders include any order placed, and paid for, by a non-indigent or non-government entity; most often these are litigants or attorneys.

Indigent transcript orders are paid by the Court which occurs when the court deems a defendant unable to pay. These types of orders are usually placed by the Public Defenders office or appointed council.

Other Govt Paid transcript orders represent orders placed by a government entity which does NOT come under the Indigent category (e.g, a Judge, govt agency, etc.).
