   BIRNAM WOOD-FAIRFAX HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC.,
                         Appellee

              On Appeal from County Civil Court at Law No. 1
                           Harris County, Texas
                     Trial Court Cause No. 1046607

                          ABATEMENT ORDER

      Notice was filed on December 9, 2014, that appellant is in bankruptcy. Tex.
R. App. P. 8.1. According to the notice, on December 4, 2014, Karen Kristine
Silvio petitioned for voluntary bankruptcy protection in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas under case number 14-36744.
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.
