          Original Proceeding from the 192nd Judicial District Court
                            Dallas County, Texas
                     Trial Court Cause No. DC-22-03103

                                    ORDER
                 Before Justices Nowell, Goldstein, and Breedlove

      In this original proceeding, relators seek a writ of mandamus compelling the

trial court to vacate an abatement order. This order was signed by the Honorable

Kristina Williams, whose term expired on December 31, 2022.

      Rule 7.2(b) requires us to abate this proceeding to allow the successor judge,

the Honorable Maria Aceves, to reconsider the challenged order. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 7.2(b) (“If the case is an original proceeding under Rule 52, the court must abate

the proceeding to allow the successor to reconsider the original party’s decision.”).
      Accordingly, we ABATE this original proceeding. This case is removed from

the Court’s active docket until further order of this Court. We ORDER the parties

to file a status report with this Court within TEN DAYS of any ruling by the

successor judge required by rule 7.2(b).
