No. 04-13-00888-CV

SPECIALTY SELECT CARE CENTER OF SAN ANTONIO LLC d/b/a Casa Rio
Healthcare and Rehabilitation,
Appellant

v.

Jose FLORES, as next friend of Julie Flores,
Appellee

From the 131st Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2013-CI-04577
Honorable Karen H. Pozza, Judge Presiding

ORDER
One of the issues presented in this appeal is the same issue pending in petitions for
review filed in Williamsburg Care Co. L.P. v. Acosta, 406 S.W.3d 711 (Tex. App.—San Antonio
2013, pet. filed), Fredericksburg Care Co. L.P. v. Lira, 407 S.W.3d 810 (Tex. App.—San
Antonio 2013, pet. filed), and Fredericksburg Care Co. L.P. v. Perez, 406 S.W.3d 313 (Tex.
App.—San Antonio 2013, pet. filed). This court has recently abated several other pending
appeals that raised the same issue.

In light of the pending higher court review of the precedent previously established by this
court, on March 5, 2014, this court ordered appellant to either file a motion to abate this appeal
pending the Texas Supreme Court’s resolution of the issue or a written response explaining why
abatement should not be ordered. On March 10, 2014, appellant filed a Motion to Abate. In the
Certificate of Conference, appellant indicates appellee opposes abatement. Therefore, if appellee
wishes to file a response to the Motion to Abate, it must do so no later than March 24, 2014.

Appellant’s Motion for Extension of Time to File Reply Brief is HELD IN ABEYANCE
pending resolution of the Motion to Abate.
