From the 131st Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2013-CI-04577 Honorable Karen H. Pozza, Judge Presiding

ORDER Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice

On March 19, 2014, this court granted appellant’s motion to abate this appeal because one of the issues presented in the appeal was the same issue pending in petitions for review filed in Williamsburg Care Co. L.P. v. Acosta, 406 S.W.3d 711 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2013, pet. filed), Fredericksburg Care Co. L.P. v. Lira, 407 S.W.3d 810 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2013, pet. filed), and Fredericksburg Care Co. L.P. v. Perez, 406 S.W.3d 313 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2013, pet. filed). Our order stated that, for administrative purposes, this appeal would be treated as a closed case, unless and until appellant files a motion requesting its reinstatement following the Texas Supreme Court’s resolution of the issue. Finally, our order denied as moot appellant’s motion for extension of time to file a reply brief.

On March 6, 2015, the Texas Supreme Court decided the issues raised in Acosta, Lira, and Perez. On June 11, 2015, appellant filed a Motion to Lift Abatement and Reinstate Appeal. The motion is GRANTED.

Appellant’s reply brief is due June 30, 2015. It is so ORDERED on June 16, 2015.
