                        MEMORANDUM OPINION

            These appeals were consolidated for purposes of briefing and oral argument, if any.
Appellants have filed an unopposed motion to extend time to file their brief. See Tex. R. App. P.

38.6(d). However, appellants also state in their motion that they and appellees have reached a

settlement in principle and need the additional time to reduce the terms of the settlement to writing,

thus alleviating the need to file briefs at all. In order to allow the parties adequate time to draft their

settlement documents without having to ask for multiple extensions, we will abate the case. The

parties should file a status report in thirty days to inform us if additional time is necessary or if we

need to set a briefing schedule because they were unable to finalize the settlement. Of course, a

motion to dismiss based on settlement may be filed at any time.

                                                 __________________________________________

                                                 W. Kenneth Law, Chief Justice

Before Chief Justice Law, Justices Puryear and Pemberton
