MEMORANDUM OPINION

On April 21, 2025, appellant Valerie Gray filed a suggestion of bankruptcy in this

appeal, notifying the Court that she filed for bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court

for the Western District of Texas on April 15, 2025. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.1. The bankruptcy

proceeding case number is 25-10524-smr. Pursuant Rule 8.2, we abate the appeal and suspend

all appellate deadlines, including appellants’ current briefing deadline, until a party files a

motion to reinstate or a motion to sever. See id. R. 8.2, 8.3. Appellant Gray shall inform this

Court of the resolution of the bankruptcy proceeding or some other event that would allow this

appeal to be reinstated. Failure to provide such notice may result in the dismissal of this appeal

for want of prosecution. See id. R. 42.3(b), (c). Appellants’ pending May 7, 2025 motion for

extension of time to file their appellants’ brief is dismissed as moot. Before Chief Justice Byrne, Justices Kelly and Ellis
