On Appeal from the 157th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2019-31055
ABATEMENT ORDER
Notice was filed on August 1, 2019 that appellants Matra Petroleum USA,
Inc.("MP"), Matra Petroleum Oil & Gas LLC ("MOG"), Matra Petroleum Operating
LLC ("MO"), and Matra Terra LLC ("MT") are in bankruptcy. Tex. R. App. P. 8.1.
A bankruptcy suspends the appeal from the date when the bankruptcy petition is
filed until the appellate court reinstates the appeal in accordance with federal law.
Tex. R. App. P. 8.2. Accordingly, we ORDER the appeal abated.
When a case has been suspended by a bankruptcy filing, a party may move
the appellate court to reinstate the appeal if permitted by federal law or the
bankruptcy court. Tex. R. App. P. 8.3. If the bankruptcy court has lifted or terminated
the stay, a certified copy of the order must be attached to the motion. Id. A party
filing a motion to reinstate shall specify what further action, if any, is required from
this court when the appeal is reinstated. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.1(a).
For administrative purposes only, and without surrendering jurisdiction, the
appeal is abated and treated as a closed case until further order of this court.
