                   of Hidalgo County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                  ORDER OF ABATEMENT
         Before Justices Benavides, Perkes, and Longoria
                        Order Per Curiam
      On, October 11, 2013, appellants, EB International, LLC, and Hidalgo Logistics,

LLC, d/b/a Hidalgo Cold Storage, a Texas Limited Liability Company, filed a suggestion of

bankruptcy in this appeal. According to the notice, appellant Hidalgo Logistics, LLC filed

a bankruptcy petition on May 15, 2013, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the

Southern District of Texas, McAllen Division.

      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
28th day of October, 2013.
