 Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Benavides
                          Order Per Curiam

      On July 13, 2018, appellees filed a notice of filing of bankruptcy by appellant

Georganne Gasaway. According to the notice, appellant filed a bankruptcy petition on

July 6, 2018, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas,

Corpus Christi Division in cause number 18-20295-C-11 styled In re Georganne Durrill,

Debtor.

      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.
