Appellant Frederic A. Gladle has filed for bankruptcy protection (United States Bankruptcy Court, W.D. Texas, Chapter 13, No. 07-10570-frm). Accordingly, the appeal is stayed. See 11 U.S.C. § 362; Tex. R. App. P. 8. Any party may file a motion to reinstate upon the occurrence of an event that would allow the case to proceed. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.3. Failure to notify this Court of a lift of the automatic stay or the termination of the bankruptcy case may result in the dismissal of the cause for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).
