GORDON DEAN HALEY,                                                            Appellant,

                                            v.

NAVY ARMY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION,                     Appellee.
____________________________________________________________

             On appeal from the 148th District Court
                   of Nueces County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                                        ORDER
  Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Hinojosa and Tijerina
                         Order Per Curiam

       On September 13, 2019, appellant, Gordon Dean Haley, filed an amended notice

of bankruptcy in this appeal. According to the notice, appellant filed a bankruptcy petition

on August 6, 2019, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of

Texas.
       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. 8.3.

                                                    PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the
20th day of September, 2019.
