No. 04-14-00120-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF R.A.G.C., ET AL., CHILDREN,
From the 131st Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2011-CI-00860
Honorable Martha B. Tanner, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Pursuant to the parties’ “Joint Motion to Abate Appeal Pending Mediation and Suspend
All Deadlines,” we ordered the appeal abated until July 7, 2014. We instructed appellant to file a
motion to dismiss the appeal due to settlement, or if a settlement was not reached, a motion to
reinstate the appeal after the July 7, 2014 deadline. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a). On July 21,
2014, appellant filed a “Status Report on Abated Case” informing the Court that the parties
reached a settlement agreement on June 19, 2014. The parties had not yet been able to enter the
subject order, but anticipated filing a joint motion to dismiss as soon as practicable. On
September 3, 2014, appellant filed a second “Status Report on Abated Case” in which she
repeated the same information as above.
On September 11, 2014, we reinstated the appeal on this Court’s docket and ordered
appellant to file either a motion to dismiss the appeal or an updated status report no later than
September 22, 2014. On September 22, 2014, appellant filed a status report informing the Court
that an order drafted pursuant to the parties’ irrevocable settlement agreement is currently being
reviewed by counsel and that the parties expect to file a joint motion to dismiss as soon as
practicable.
Appellant is ORDERED to file either a motion to dismiss the appeal or an updated status
report no later than October 23, 2014.
