On Appeal from the 157th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2019-31055

ABATEMENT ORDER

Notice was filed on August 1, 2019 that appellants Matra Petroleum USA, Inc.("MP"), Matra Petroleum Oil & Gas LLC ("MOG"), Matra Petroleum Operating LLC ("MO"), and Matra Terra LLC ("MT") are in bankruptcy. Tex. R. App. P. 8.1. A bankruptcy suspends the appeal from the date when the bankruptcy petition is filed until the appellate court reinstates the appeal in accordance with federal law. Tex. R. App. P. 8.2. Accordingly, we ORDER the appeal abated.

When a case has been suspended by a bankruptcy filing, a party may move the appellate court to reinstate the appeal if permitted by federal law or the bankruptcy court. Tex. R. App. P. 8.3. If the bankruptcy court has lifted or terminated the stay, a certified copy of the order must be attached to the motion. Id. A party filing a motion to reinstate shall specify what further action, if any, is required from this court when the appeal is reinstated. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.1(a).

For administrative purposes only, and without surrendering jurisdiction, the appeal is abated and treated as a closed case until further order of this court.
