Appellate case number:      01-18-00867-CV

Trial court case number:    2017-73196

Trial court:                151st District Court of Harris County

        This appeal was stayed pursuant to the “Suggestion of Bankruptcy” notice that
appellant, Mattress Firm, Inc., had filed in this Court on October 5, 2018. That notice
stated that appellant had filed a Chapter 11 petition for relief, assigned to Case No. 18-
12241-BLS, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. See TEX.
R. APP. P. 8.2; see also 11 U.S.C. § 362(a).
        On December 17, 2018, appellant filed this unopposed motion to reinstate this
appeal because the stay has been lifted. Appellant states that the bankruptcy court’s
November 16, 2018 order confirmed appellant’s Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization and
provided that the automatic stay shall continue until the Effective Date, and it attached
certified copies of the bankruptcy court’s order and a Notice filed there stating that the
Effective Date was November 21, 2018.
        Accordingly, the Court grants appellant’s motion to reinstate and directs the Clerk
of this Court to reinstate this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 8.3(a). Although the clerk’s
record was filed on October 9, 2018, the reporter’s record was not filed due to lack of
payment. Thus, if appellant fails to file evidence of payment of the reporter’s record fee
with this Court within 10 days from the date of this Order, this Court may set the briefing
schedule without the reporter’s record. See id. 35.3(c), 37.3(c)(2)(A).

      It is so ORDERED.
