                 ROBERT ANDING, M.D., ET AL, Appellees

                   On Appeal from the Probate Court No. 2
                            Harris County, Texas
                     Trial Court Cause No. 352,923-405

                           ABATEMENT ORDER

      Notice was filed on December 28, 2022, that appellee Obstetrical and
Gynecological Associates, P.A. is in bankruptcy. Tex. R. App. P. 8.1. According to
the notice, on December 22, 2022, appellee Obstetrical and Gynecological
Associates, P.A., petitioned for voluntary bankruptcy protection in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas under case number 22-
33816. A bankruptcy suspends the appeal from the date when the bankruptcy
petition is filed until the appellate court reinstates the appeal in accordance with
federal law. Tex. R. App. P. 8.2. Accordingly, we ORDER the appeal abated.

      When a case has been suspended by a bankruptcy filing, a party may move
the appellate court to reinstate the appeal if permitted by federal law or the
bankruptcy court. Tex. R. App. P. 8.3. If the bankruptcy court has lifted or
terminated the stay, a certified copy of the order must be attached to the motion. Id.
A party filing a motion to reinstate shall specify what further action, if any, is
required from this court when the appeal is reinstated. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.1(a).

      For administrative purposes only, and without surrendering jurisdiction, the
appeal is abated and treated as a closed case until further order of this court.

                                    PER CURIAM

Panel Consists of Justices Zimmerer, Spain, and Hassan.
