                  From the 225th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                               Trial Court No. 2012-CI-03086
                          Honorable Peter A. Sakai, Judge Presiding


                                        ORDER
        On September 18, 2014, this court received a motion to abate this appeal pending the
outcome of a mandamus proceeding. On May 13, 2015, we ordered the appeal abated pending
the resolution of the mandamus proceeding. The Texas Supreme Court has subsequently issued
an opinion in the mandamus proceeding.

        Therefore, we order the parties to file, on or before January 3, 2018, a response in this
court addressing whether the abatement should be lifted and the appeal reinstated on the docket
of this court.

court on this 4th day of December, 2017.
