Delivered and Filed: July 15, 2015

MOTION TO DISMISS GRANTED; APPEAL DISMISSED

           On November 25, 2013, this court granted appellant’s motion to stay the underlying

proceedings at the trial court level in trial cause number 2012-CI-16420. On March 4, 2014, this

court granted appellant’s motion to abate this appeal because one of the issues presented in the

appeal was 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). Our order stated that,
                                                                                       04-13-00823-CV

for administrative purposes, this appeal would be treated as a closed case, unless and until appellant

filed a motion requesting its reinstatement following the Texas Supreme Court’s resolution of the

issue. On March 6, 2015, the Texas Supreme Court decided the issues raised in Acosta, Lira, and

Perez. On July 1, 2015, the parties filed an “Agreed, Joint Motion to Reinstate, to Lift Stay, and

to Dismiss Appeal.”

       The motion is GRANTED, this court’s stay of proceedings in trial cause number 2012-CI-

16420 is lifted, this appeal is reinstated on the docket of this court, and this appeal is dismissed.
