                                  San Antonio, Texas

                                     No. 04-13-00823-CV

   WILLIAMSBURG CARE CO., LP d/b/a Princeton Place Rehabilitation and Healthcare,
                               Appellant

                                               v.

Jesus ACOSTA, Individually and as Representative of the Estate of Maria Acosta, Deceased; et
                                          al.,
                                       Appellee

                  From the 73rd Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                               Trial Court No. 2012-CI-16420
                       Honorable John D. Gabriel, Jr., Judge Presiding

                                        ORDER
        Appellant has filed a motion to abate this appeal because one of the issues presented in
the appeal is the same issue pending in petitions for review filed in Williamsburg Care Co. L.P.
v. Acosta, 406 S.W.3d 711 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2013, pet. filed), Fredericksburg Care Co.
L.P. v. Lira, 407 S.W.3d 810 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2013, pet. filed), and Fredericksburg
Care Co. L.P. v. Perez, 406 S.W.3d 313 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2013, pet. filed). This court
has considered the motion, the appellees’ response, and the appellant’s reply to the appellees’
response. In light of the pending higher court review of the precedent previously established by
this court, the court has determined that abating this appeal pending the Texas Supreme Court’s
resolution of the issue will likely achieve the greatest judicial efficiency. Accordingly,
appellant’s motion to abate is GRANTED. For administrative purposes, this appeal will be
treated as a closed case, unless and until appellant files a motion requesting its reinstatement
following the Texas Supreme Court’s resolution of the issue.
