                                      ORDER
       Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Perkes
                              Order Per Curiam

      On November 12, 2015, appellant, Oskar Sepulveda Jr., filed a notice of

bankruptcy in this appeal. According to the notice, appellant filed a bankruptcy petition
on November 3, 2015, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of

Texas, San Antonio Division.

       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


Delivered and filed this
the 4th day of December, 2015.
