In this restricted appeal from a default judgment for bail bond forfeiture, the parties have filed a Rule 11 Agreement to dispose of the forfeiture with the trial court. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 11. Appellant American Contractors Indemnity Company d/b/a Texas Bonding Company has filed an unopposed motion to abate the appeal to permit proceedings in the trial court to effectuate the parties' agreement. Accordingly, we grant the motion and abate the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(C). All appellate deadlines will be tolled during the period of abatement. Absent further order of this Court, this appeal will be automatically reinstated on March 30, 2011. The parties are directed to file either a status report or a motion to dismiss by that date.
