Dean DAVENPORT, Dillon Water Resources, Ltd., 5D Drilling and Pump Service, Inc., f/k/a Davenport Drilling & Pump Service, Inc., 5D Water Resources, LLC f/k/a Davenport Oper., LLC, Water Exploration Co., Ltd., WAD, Inc., Water Investment Leasing Company, Appellants v. Tom HALL, et al., Appellees
From the 225th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2012-CI-03086
Honorable Peter A. Sakai, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On September 18, 2014, this court received a motion to abate this appeal pending the outcome of a mandamus proceeding. On May 13, 2015, we ordered the appeal abated pending the resolution of the mandamus proceeding. The Texas Supreme Court has subsequently issued an opinion in the mandamus proceeding.
On January 3, 2018, we received appellants' response notifying this court that a motion was recently filed in the district court asking the trial court to effectuate the Texas Supreme Court's opinion. At the time of the response, a hearing had not been set on that motion. Appellants informed this court that the appeal should remain abated until such a time that the trial court complies with the directive in the Texas Supreme Court's mandamus opinion.
We order the parties to file, on or before February 22, 2018, a response in this court addressing whether the abatement should now be lifted and the appeal reinstated on the docket of this court.
