Appellee Federal National Mortgage Association has filed a suggestion of bankruptcy. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.1. We therefore abate this appeal until a party files a motion to reinstate or a motion to sever. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.2, 8.3. Appellant is ordered to inform this Court of the resolution of the bankruptcy proceeding or some other event that would allow this appeal to be reinstated. Should appellant fail to provide such notice, the appeal will be subject to dismissal for want of prosecution on this Court's or another party's motion. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c).
