RAUL ALCALA AND YAZMIN ALCALA, Appellants, v. REPUBLIC LLOYDS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 445th District Court of Cameron County, Texas.
ORDER
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Longoria and Hinojosa
Order Per Curiam
The Honorable Rogelio Valdez, former Chief Justice of this Court, did not participate in this order because his term of office expired on December 31, 2018.
The Supreme Court of Texas has accepted a petition for review in each of the following appeals: Barbara Technologies Corp. v. State Farm Lloyds, No. 04-1600420- CV, 2017 WL 1423714 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Apr. 19, 2017, pet. granted) and Ortiz v. State Farm Lloyds, No. 04-17-00252-CV, 2017 WL 5162315 (Tex. App.— San Antonio Nov. 8, 2017, pet. granted). The Court believes that the issues in the instant appeal are sufficiently similar to those in Barbara Technologies and Ortiz that judicial economy dictates that we should abate the instant appeal pending the supreme court's disposition of the two cases. The parties are assured that upon reinstatement they will be afforded an opportunity to brief what impact, if any, these two cases have on the instant appeal. Accordingly, the instant appeal is ABATED pending further order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
PER CURIAM Delivered and filed the 29th day of January, 2019.
