Trial Court No. 2004-41206

Before Morriss, C.J., Ross and Carter, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss

MEMORANDUM OPINION

            On September 13, 2005, this Court entered an order in this case permanently abating the case on suggestion of bankruptcy. See 11 U.S.C.A. § 362 (2004). More than a month has now passed, and no party has requested reinstatement of the case or filed a motion contesting our order of abatement.

            Accordingly, for administrative purposes, we issue this opinion, which formally abates the case. Henceforth, this case will be treated as closed. Any party may reinstate by promptly filing a motion with an attached certified copy of the order showing that the automatic bankruptcy stay has been lifted or terminated and specifying what further action, if any, is required from this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.3. In the event of reinstatement, any period that began to run and had not expired at the time of the original order of abatement will begin anew when the proceeding is reinstated. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.2.
