MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM Counsel for appellant SectionCheck.com, LLC and counsel for appellee Drilling Info, Inc. filed an agreed motion to abate this appeal while they continue settlement discussions that they believe will resolve the underlying matters in this appeal and proceed with related federal litigation in Bradley J. Broussard, Gene Huggs, and SectionCheck.com, LLC v. Drilling Info, Inc., No. 11-CV-00660 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana.

We grant the parties’ motion and abate the appeal until September 4, 2012. See Tex. R. App. P. 10. By that date, the parties are instructed to file either a motion to reinstate and dismiss the appeal if the parties no longer wish to pursue it, or a report informing this Court about the status of the appeal and requesting an extension of the abatement. Should the parties fail to take either action by September 4, 2012, this appeal may be dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c).
