On Appeal from the Probate Court No 4 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 422,684-401

ORDER The court abated this appeal on May 22, 2018 to allow the parties to engage in settlement discussions. On July 23, 2018, the parties filed a joint motion to extend the abatement period to allow continued settlement negotiations. The motion is granted. Accordingly, we issue the following order.

The appeal remains abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this court’s active docket until September 6, 2018. The appeal will be reinstated on this court’s active docket at that time, or when the parties file a motion to dismiss the appeal or other dispositive motion. The court will also consider an appropriate motion to reinstate the appeal filed by either party, or the court may reinstate the appeal on its own motion.
