                            COURT OF APPEALS

                  THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
____________________________________________________________

NASHIN MANOHAR,                                                             Appellant,

                                           v.

PRITI MANOHAR,                                      Appellee.
____________________________________________________________

          On appeal from the County Court at Law No. 8
                   of Hidalgo County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                                      ORDER
       Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Garza
                             Order Per Curiam

      Appellant, Nashin Manohar, appealed a judgment entered by the County Court at

Law No. 8 of Hidalgo County, Texas. On December 8, 2014, the Clerk of this Court

notified appellant, in accordance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3(c), that we

would dismiss this appeal unless the $195.00 filing fee was paid. See TEX. R. APP. P.

42.3(c). Appellant did not respond to the notice from the Clerk or pay the $195.00 filing
fee. See id. R. 5, 12.1(b). Accordingly, on January 22, 2015, this Court dismissed the

appeal.   See Manohar v. Manohar, 13-14-00658-CV, 2015 WL 314692, at *1 (Tex.

App.—Corpus Christi Jan. 22, 2015, no. pet. h.).           Currently before the Court is

appellant’s unopposed motion to reinstate the appeal, and upon reinstatement, abate the

appeal in order for the trial court to conduct the appropriate hearing to effectuate the

parties’ mediated settlement agreement.

       The Court, having examined and fully considered appellant’s unopposed motion,

is of the opinion that it should be granted. Accordingly, we grant the motion to reinstate

and abate the appeal. We withdraw our previous opinion and judgment. We abate this

appeal and remand this matter to the trial court in order to “permit proceedings in the trial

court to effectuate the agreement.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(C). The parties are

instructed to report to this Court regarding the trial court proceedings on abatement and

to file an appropriate motion to reinstate the appeal, or motion to dismiss the appeal, as

necessary, within thirty days of the date of this order.      Further, appellant is hereby

directed to pay the $195.00 filing fee for this appeal within fifteen days from the date of

this order.

                                                                       PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the 12th
day of February, 2015.
