Decided: August 17, 2005.

MEMORANDUM OPINION
This Court has been notified that a party in this appeal has filed a petition for bankruptcy. Walter Gonzalez filed a petition in bankruptcy May 6, 2004, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, under cause number 04-20607. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C.A. § 362 (West 2004), further action in this cause is automatically stayed, and the appeal, including any pending motions, is suspended. See Tex.R.App.P. 8.2.
Accordingly, for administrative purposes, this case is abated and will be treated as closed. Any party may reinstate the case by promptly filing a motion with an attached certified copy of the order showing that the automatic bankruptcy stay has been lifted or terminated and specifying what further action, if any, is required from this Court. In the event of reinstatement, any period that began to run and had not expired at the time of suspension will begin anew when the proceeding is reinstated. Any document filed while the proceeding is suspended will be deemed filed on the same day, but after, the Court reinstates the appeal. Tex.R.App.P. 8.2, 8.3.
