Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
March 4, 2014
No. 04-13-00821-CV
GOLDEN REHABILITATION CENTER, L.L.C.,
Appellant
v.
Juanita PEREZ, Virginia Garcia, Paul Zapata, and Sylvia Sanchez, Individually and as Heirs of
Elisa Zapata,
Appellees
From the 73rd Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2013-CI-06946
Honorable John D. Gabriel, Jr., Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant has filed a motion to abate this appeal because one of the issues presented in
the 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 considered the motion, the appellees’ response, and the appellant’s reply to the appellees’
response. In light of the pending higher court review of the precedent previously established by
this court, the court has determined that abating this appeal pending the Texas Supreme Court’s
resolution of the issue will likely achieve the greatest judicial efficiency. Accordingly,
appellant’s motion to abate is GRANTED. For administrative purposes, this appeal will be
treated as a closed case, unless and until appellant files a motion requesting its reinstatement
following the Texas Supreme Court’s resolution of the issue.
