Texas General Land Office and George P. Bush,
named in his Official Capacity as Texas Land Commissioner, Appellants
v.
City of Houston, Appellee
FROM THE 53RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-GN-20-003520, THE HONORABLE TIM SULAK, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
On March 30, 2021, we extended the abatement of this appeal to June 15, 2021, at
the parties’ request. We instructed the parties to file either a status report or motion to dismiss by
June 15.
The parties have filed their Joint Status Report and Fifth Request for Extension of
Abatement. In it, they represent that they have executed certain documents relating to settling
their dispute and are waiting on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to
approve Action Plan Amendment 8. The parties represent that they anticipate that the approval
will be had by or before June 20, 2021. The parties therefore seek an extension of the abatement
of this appeal through and including July 15, 2021, and an order “that the Parties file an updated
status report or an agreed dismissal on or before” that date.
The Court grants the parties’ request for a fifth abatement extension and extends
the abatement through and including July 15, 2021, subject to any motion that may be made before
that date to reinstate the appeal. The parties are ordered to file another status report, or a motion
to dismiss, by July 15, 2021.
