In most jurisdictions to file an appeal you need a transcript of the proceeding, that cost money. If you don't have the funds to do what is necessary, then don't do something.

Not to mention, that appeals are not filed without cost. Only if a waiver is granted does the appellant get the free pass. The 14 different COA's in Texas are all pretty specific in their letters regarding deficiencies and they have, on more than one occasion, bent over backwards to give a pro se appellant extra time to include unrequested extensions. Yet people STILL don't bother to do what is required...they won't even bother to write the Court and say they are overwhelmed and wish to withdraw the appeal.
