Hudson, Trustee, Appellees
FROM THE 459TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-GN-18-005944, THE HONORABLE MAYA GUERRA GAMBLE, JUDGE PRESIDING
SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER AND MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
We abated this appeal and remanded this case to the trial court for an evidentiary
hearing determining whether Hughes is unable to pay costs. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 145(b). Appellee
Hornet Capital has filed a second motion to extend the abatement period for 90 days in the interest
of judicial economy so that the trial court may also determine the parties’ dispute over
post-judgment-discovery directed to the proper amount of Hughes’s supersedeas bond or deposit.
See Tex. R. App. P. 24.2(c)(2).
We grant the motion and extend the abatement of this appeal. The reporter’s record
and supplemental clerk’s record with the trial court’s detailed findings and order determining
whether Hughes is unable to pay costs must be filed by November 24, 2026. See Tex. R. Civ. P.
145(f). The appeal will be reinstated when those supplemental records are filed.
It is ordered on August 26, 2026.
Before Chief Justice Byrne, Justices Theofanis and Ellis
