Louis Cognata v. Down Hole Injection, Inc.

Opinion

In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

No. 06-12-00008-CV

LOUIS COGNATA, Appellant

V.

DOWN HOLE INJECTION, INC., Appellee

On Appeal from the 145th District Court Nacogdoches County, Texas Trial Court No. C21,875-2005

Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ. ORDER By order dated April 26, 2012, we abated this appeal 1 pending the decision of the

Fourteenth Court of Appeals in the companion appeal, cause number 14-06-00976-CV. The

Fourteenth Court of Appeals issued its decision June 19, 2012. Cognata’s petition for

discretionary review of that decision was denied by The Supreme Court of Texas November 30,

2012, and the Fourteenth Court’s mandate issued January 18, 2013.

We, therefore, lift the abatement in this appeal and order the clerk to reinstate the appeal

on the docket of the Court. Appellant has thirty days from the date of this order to file a brief in

this matter. Should appellant fail to file a brief within the time allotted, this appeal will be

dismissed for want of prosecution pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3. See TEX.

R. APP. P. 42.3.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

BY THE COURT

Date: February 25, 2013
