NOTICE REGARDING DOCUMENTS FILED IN CASE STAYED FOR BANKRUPTCY
The Court has instructed me to inform you that this appeal is stayed due to bankruptcy (Appellee Bill Knollenberg's Suggestion of Bankruptcy filed by R. Perry McConnell). See 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) (2000) (automatic stay in bankruptcy). The Court will take no further action in the appeal other than to receive and hold with the other papers in the appeal any documents tendered during the period of suspension. A document filed by a party while the appeal is suspended will be deemed filed on the same day, but after, the Court reinstates or severs the appeal and will not be considered ineffective because it was filed while the appeal was suspended. TEX. R. APP. P. 8.2.
Furthermore, pursuant to Continental Casing Corp. v. Samedan Oil Corporation , the Court's opinion and judgment issued on August 31, 2009 are void. See 751 S.W.2d 499, 501 (Tex. 1988).
Unless a party successfully moves for reinstatement or severance, my office will show the appeal as an inactive case on the Court's docket. See TEX. R. APP. P. 8.3. You must file an original and two copies of all motions. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.3(a). All civil motions must be accompanied by a $10 filing fee unless the movant has previously established indigence or is exempt from the advance payment of filing fees, e.g., the State or a political subdivision of the State. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5; FEES CIV. CASES B(3); Op. Tex. Atty Gen. No. DM-459 (1997). The Court treats a civil motion requesting multiple types of relief as separate motions, each requiring a $10 filing fee. Please make money orders or checks payable to Court of Appeals, First District of Texas.
