AUTO MECHANICS SERVICE PLUS, LLC AND MOHAMMAD AL-BARNAWI, INDIVIDUALLY, Appellants, v. G. MICHAEL RAGOSS, Appellee.
ON APPEAL FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 3 OF NUECES COUNTY, TEXAS
Before Justices Benavides, Tijerina, and Silva
SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER
Per Curiam
On January 23, 2024, the Court abated this case and remanded the matter to the trial court to determine whether appellants were indigent and entitled to a free appellate record. On May 13, 2024, we received a supplemental clerk's record containing a letter from the trial court. The letter indicates that the trial court held a hearing on May 7, 2024, during which one of the appellants, Mohammad Al-Barnawi, notified the trial court that he had filed for bankruptcy. This letter does not comply with the requirements of a bankruptcy notice, as set forth in the rules of appellate procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 8.1. IF AL-BARNAWI IS SUBJECT TO BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS, HE IS ORDERED TO FILE THE PROPER NOTICE IN THIS COURT WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS OF THIS NOTICE. See id. If Al-Barnawi is not subject to bankruptcy proceedings, he is ordered to file a letter with this court within ten (10) days of this order indicating as such.
The trial court's letter indicates it was signed on May 13, 2023, and references a hearing held on May 7, 2023. However, from the procedural history of this case, we understand these events occurred in 2024, and regard the references to 2023 as clerical errors.
