      Accordingly, this appeal is abated and all appellate deadlines are suspended until

further order of this court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 8.2. The parties may file a motion to

reinstate or sever the appeal if permitted by federal law or the bankruptcy court. See TEX.

R. APP. P. 8.3. The parties shall promptly inform this court of the resolution of the

bankruptcy proceeding or any other event authorizing reinstatement of the appeal.


      It is so ordered.
