O R D E R

On September 18, 2014, this court received a motion to abate this appeal pending the outcome of a mandamus proceeding. On May 13, 2015, we ordered the appeal abated pending the resolution of the mandamus proceeding. The Texas Supreme Court has subsequently issued an opinion in the mandamus proceeding.

Therefore, we order the parties to file, on or before January 3, 2018 , a response in this court addressing whether the abatement should be lifted and the appeal reinstated on the docket of this court.
