*1 NUMBER 13-15-00385-CV COURT OF APPEALS THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG KAY NORDT BANKER, Appellant,

JOHN BANKER, Appellee. On appeal from the 130th District Court of Matagorda County, Texas ORDER OF ABATEMENT

Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Longoria

Order Per Curiam

This cause is before the Court on appellant’s unopposed motion to abate appeal in order to secure findings of fact and conclusions of law from the trial court. Appellant brings this appeal from a final decree of divorce signed May 11, 2015. On May 12, 2015, appellant filed a request for findings of fact and conclusions of law. Appellant filed her *2 notice of past due findings of facts and conclusions of law on June 2, 2015. Our record does not contain the requested findings of fact and conclusions of law. Appellant states that she is not in a position to file a brief until the requisite findings of fact and conclusions of law are contained in the record.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file and the unopposed motion to abate, is of the opinion that the motion to abate the appeal should be granted. We GRANT appellant’s motion to abate and order the trial court to make findings of fact and conclusions of law on or before December 1, 2015. Within ten days after the trial court has filed findings of fact and conclusion of law, any party may file a request for specified additional or amended findings or conclusions. The trial court shall file any additional or amended findings that are appropriate within ten days after such a request is filed. The trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law, and any additional and amended findings or conclusions, shall be included in a supplemental clerk’s record to be filed with this court on or before January 4, 2016.

The appeal will be reinstated when the supplemental record ordered herein is filed in this Court, or upon further order of this Court. Appellant’s brief shall be due thirty days after the appeal is reinstated.

PER CURIAM Delivered and filed the

13 th day of November, 2015.
