This appeal is stayed pursuant to the “Suggestion of Bankruptcy,” that appellant Cynthia

under Chapter 13 of Title 11, United States Code, in Case 16-80385, styled In re Cynthia Cole
Markos, Debtor, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. See
11 U.S.C. § 362(a) (2000) (automatic stay in bankruptcy). Until the parties notify the Court that
the bankruptcy has concluded and move to reinstate the case, the Court will take no further
action other than to receive and hold any documents tendered during the period of suspension.

petition was filed until court reinstates or severs appeal in accordance with federal law); see also
Budzyn v. Citibank (S.D.), N.A., No. 01–08–00211–CV, 2010 WL 2044628, at *1 (Tex. App.—

Unless a party successfully moves to reinstate the appeal or sever the appeal with respect
to the bankrupt party, this appeal will be an inactive case on the Court’s docket. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 8.3.
It is so ORDERED.
