v.
Pakiza Asim, Appellee
FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY,
NO. 11-0061-FC1, THE HONORABLE THOMAS O. STANSBURY, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER AND MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Appellant Shakeel Mustafa challenges the trial court’s order on a motion to modify
in the underlying SAPCR. Mustafa filed a motion to abate this appeal for the entry of findings of
fact and conclusions of law that were not issued by the trial court after he timely requested them and
gave notice to the court that they were past due. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 296; id. R. 297. Appellee
Pakiza Asim filed a response stating that she agrees that the appeal should be abated and the case
remanded to the trial court for the issuance of findings of fact and conclusions of law.
We grant Mustafa’s motion, abate this appeal, and remand this cause to the trial
court for the entry of the necessary findings of fact and conclusions of law. See Billisits v. Billisits,
No. 03-21-00358-CV, 2022 WL 120484, at *1 (Tex. App.—Austin Jan. 12, 2022, no pet.) (per
curiam). We instruct the trial-court clerk to prepare a supplemental record containing the findings
of fact and conclusions of law. We further instruct Mustafa to file a motion to reinstate the appeal,
a motion to extend the abatement, or a report advising us of the status of the case no later than
May 25, 2023.
It is ordered on April 27, 2023.
