THE STATE OF TEXAS,                           APPEALED FROM COUNTY COURT AT

APPELLEE

                                             ORDER

       Came on for review the status of the instant appeal, and the same having been considered,
it appears that Appellee's counsel is Mr. Edward Robert Human's and that Mr. Human's license
to practice law has been suspended by order of the Supreme Court of Texas.
       On October 18, 2004, this Court sent Mr. Human correspondence informing him that his
name appeared on the List of Inactive Attorneys and requested that he provide proof that his
license has been reinstated, or alternatively, advise this Court of who will be handling this appeal
in his stead. Mr. Human did not respond to this Court's notice. On November 29, 2004, a clerk
of this Court telephoned Mr. Human's office requesting written proof that his license has been
reinstated. No satisfactory response has been received. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED
that this appeal be, and hereby is, ABATED until Mr. Edward Robert Human provides this Court
with written proof that his license to practice law in Texas has been reinstated and that he is
presentlyin good standing with the State Bar of Texas. Failureto complywith this Court's order
on or before Monday, January 03, 2005 will result in this appeal being presented to the Court for
entry of an order of permanent abatement, removing this case from the docket of the Court.

Court of Appeals District of Texas, at Tyler.
