Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-10-00557-CV

Phillip Orlando Jones and Walter Lee Hall, Jr., Appellants v.

Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as trustee for the Registered Holders of RESMAE Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-1, Appellee

FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 2 OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. C-1-CV-10-005164, HONORABLE ERIC SHEPPERD, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Walter Lee Hall, Jr. filed a bankruptcy petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Western District of Texas on January 24, 2011. We therefore abate this appeal until a party files a motion to reinstate or a motion to sever. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.1, 8.2, 8.3. Hall is ordered to inform this Court within ten calendar days of the resolution of the bankruptcy proceeding or some other event that would allow the appeal to be reinstated. Should Hall 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.
