Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.

       RK Financial Group, L.P. (appellant) appeals the trial court=s summary judgment

order. This court has received notice from appellant=s counsel that appellant has filed a

voluntary petition as debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code. Said notice

included a faxed file-marked document from the United States Bankruptcy Court,

Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. '362, any further

action in this appeal is automatically stayed.
      Under these circumstances, and for administrative purposes, this appeal is

removed from the docket of this court and abated. The appeal will be reinstated upon

proper motion showing that the stay has been lifted or that the court may otherwise

proceed with the disposition of the cause.

      Accordingly, the appeal is abated.
