TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-25-00819-CV

EFW Holdings, Inc., Appellant

v.

Patrick Shannon Beene, Adia Garcia, Theodore M. Garza, and Maria I. Garza, Appellees

FROM THE 453RD DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY, NO. 22-3239, THE HONORABLE SHERRI TIBBE, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

Rolling Hills Food & Beverage, Inc., who is not a party to this appeal but who is a

defendant in the underlying suit, has notified this Court that it has filed for bankruptcy protection

(United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. Texas, Case No. 25-44129-11). See Tex. R. App. P. 8.1.

Accordingly, this appeal is stayed. See 11 U.S.C. § 362; Tex. R. App. P. 8.2. Any party may file

a motion to reinstate the appeal if permitted by federal law or the bankruptcy court. See Tex. R.

App. P. 8.3(a). It is the parties’ responsibility to notify the Court as soon as possible if an event

occurs that would allow reinstatement. Id. Failure to notify this Court of a lift of the automatic

stay or the conclusion of the bankruptcy proceeding may result in the dismissal of the case for

want of prosecution. See id. R. 42.3(b).
