                             Trial Court No. 76,737-D


                              ABATEMENT ORDER


       Appellant has complained of the trial court's failure to enter findings of fact and

conclusions of law pursuant to Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 296. These findings are

mandatory upon proper request, including a notice of past due findings of fact and

conclusions of law. TEX. R. CIV. P. 297. Appellee does not dispute that the findings and

conclusions have not been made. Therefore, we will abate this appeal and remand this

case to the trial court for the trial court to make the required findings and conclusions.

The trial court's written findings shall be forwarded to the Clerk in a supplemental clerk's

record within thirty days of the date of this order.
