Kirsten Hanna; Upside Up Properties, LLC; and Upside Up Ventures, Inc., Appellants
v.
M. Matthew Williams; David Howell; Law Firm of M. Matthew Williams; and Leighton,
Michaux, Adkinson & Brown, PLLC, Appellees
FROM THE 53RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-GN-21-000957, THE HONORABLE KARIN CRUMP, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Appellants have filed an unopposed motion to abate their appeal so that they may
cure a “potential jurisdictional impediment” by having the trial court sever appellees’
counterclaim from the underlying proceeding. We grant the motion and abate this appeal
pending further order from this Court, with appellate deadlines tolled during the abatement
period. See Tex. R. App. P. 27.2 (“The appellate court may allow an appealed order that is not
final to be modified so as to be made final and may allow the modified order and all proceedings
relating to it to be included in a supplemental record.”). Appellants are instructed to file either a
motion to reinstate the appeal with a supplemental clerk’s record demonstrating that the
judgment is a final appealable judgment or a status report on or before February 1, 2022.
