                   Appeal from the United States District Court

Before JONES, BARKSDALE, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The court has considered this appeal in light of the briefs, pertinent
portions of the record, and the opinion of the Texas Court of Appeals in J.G.
Wentworth Originations, LLC v. Freelon, 446 S.W.3d 426 (Tex. App.—Houston
[1st Dist.] 2014). Having done so, we conclude that the basis for abstention is
now lacking. We vacate and remand to the district court to determine any
remaining viable issues, including but not limited to the illegal encumbrance

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.
