Order filed on August 9, 2022, in the Fourteenth Court of Appeals, case number NO. 14-21-00701-CV, involving appellants/cross-appellees American Akaushi Association, Inc., HeartBrand Holdings, Inc., and Ronald Beeman against appellee/cross-appellant Twinwood Cattle Company, Inc. The notice dated August 3, 2022, indicates that the appellants are in bankruptcy, having filed for voluntary bankruptcy protection on August 1, 2022, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas under case numbers 22-90128 and 22-90127. The filing of bankruptcy suspends the appeal from the date of the bankruptcy petition until the appellate court reinstates the appeal, as per federal law (Tex. R. App. P. 8.1, 8.2). Consequently, the court orders the appeal abated. A party may move to reinstate the appeal if allowed by federal law or the bankruptcy court, and if the bankruptcy court has lifted the stay, a certified copy of the order must accompany the motion (Tex. R. App. P. 8.3). The party must also detail any required actions from the court upon reinstatement (Tex. R. App. P. 10.1(a)). For administrative purposes, the appeal will be treated as a closed case until further notice, without surrendering jurisdiction. The decision is rendered per curiam by Justices Jewell, Zimmerer, and Hassan.
