ORDER
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Hinojosa and Tijerina
Order Per Curiam
On September 13, 2019, appellant, Gordon Dean Haley, filed an amended notice
of bankruptcy in this appeal. According to the notice, appellant filed a bankruptcy petition
on August 6, 2019, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
Texas.
Upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition, an automatic stay becomes effective which
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.
PER CURIAM
