MILAGRO EXPLORATION, LLC,                                                   Appellant,

                                           v.

GLENN A. RALSTON AND

____________________________________________________________

              On Appeal from the 24th District Court
                   of Goliad County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                          ORDER OF ABATEMENT
    Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Benavides and Perkes
                           Order Per Curiam

      On July 22, 2015, appellant Milagro Exploration, LLC, filed a notice of bankruptcy

in this appeal. According to the notice, appellant filed a bankruptcy petition on July 11,

2015 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
       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. R. 8.3.

                                                                          PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the
24th day of July, 2015.
