Order Per Curiam
On April 16, 2019, appellees filed a notice of bankruptcy in this appeal. According
to the notice, Aurora Commercial Corp. and Aurora Loan Services LLC filed bankruptcy
petitions on March 24, 2019, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern

prohibits the commencement or continuation of any judicial action or proceeding against
the debtor and any property within the debtor's bankruptcy estate. See 11 U.S.C.A. §
362(a). Pursuant to Rule 8.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, the appeal is
suspended. See TEX. R. APP. P. 8.2.
Accordingly, this appeal is ABATED until further order of this Court. Any
documents filed subsequent to the bankruptcy petition will remain pending until the appeal
is reinstated. The parties are directed to take such action as is appropriate to advise the
Court of any change in the status of the bankruptcy proceeding which would affect the
status of this appeal, including but not limited to, the filing of a motion to reinstate pursuant
to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 8.3. See id. 8.3.
