Raul Alcala and Yazmin Alcala v. Republic Lloyds ( 2019 )

NUMBER 13-18-00026-CV
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
RAUL ALCALA AND
YAZMIN ALCALA, Appellants,
v.
REPUBLIC LLOYDS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 445th District Court
of Cameron County, Texas.
ORDER
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Longoria and Hinojosa 1
Order Per Curiam
The Supreme Court of Texas has accepted a petition for review in each of the
following appeals: Barbara Technologies Corp. v. State Farm Lloyds, No. XX-XXXXXXX-
1 The Honorable Rogelio Valdez, former Chief Justice of this Court, did not participate in this order
because his term of office expired on December 31, 2018.
CV, 2017 WL 1423714 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Apr. 19, 2017, pet. granted) and Ortiz v.
State Farm Lloyds, No. 04-17-00252-CV, 2017 WL 5162315 (Tex. App.— San Antonio
Nov. 8, 2017, pet. granted). The Court believes that the issues in the instant appeal are
sufficiently similar to those in Barbara Technologies and Ortiz that judicial economy
dictates that we should abate the instant appeal pending the supreme court’s disposition
of the two cases. The parties are assured that upon reinstatement they will be afforded
an opportunity to brief what impact, if any, these two cases have on the instant appeal.
Accordingly, the instant appeal is ABATED pending further order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
29th day of January, 2019.
