This Court reversed the trial court's judgment. See PHI Air Med., LLC v. Texas Mut. Ins., 549 S.W.3d 804 (Tex. App.—Austin 2018). The Insurers and the Department of Insurance, Division of Workers' Compensation appealed, and the Texas Supreme Court reversed this Court's decision and remanded to this Court. Texas Mut. Ins. v. PHI Air Med., LLC, ___ S.W.3d ___, 2020 WL 3477002 (Tex. June 26, 2020). PHI then filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS).
PHI has now filed an unopposed motion to stay proceedings until after SCOTUS has reviewed the petition. We grant the motion and abate the appeal pending review by SCOTUS. The parties are instructed to notify this Court within thirty days of SCOTUS's decision regarding whether to grant the petition. Failure to timely comply may result in the case being dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b). Before Justices Goodwin, Baker, and Kelly Abated Filed: December 17, 2020
