Tex. R. App. P. 8.2
Effect of Bankruptcy
A bankruptcy suspends the appeal and all periods
in these rules from the date when the bankruptcy
petition is filed until the appellate court reinstates or
severs the appeal in accordance with federal law. A
period that began to run and had not expired at the time
the proceeding was suspended begins anew when the
proceeding is reinstated or severed under 8.3. A
document filed by a party while the proceeding is
suspended will be deemed filed on the same day, but
after, the court reinstates or severs the appeal and will
not be considered ineffective because it was filed
while the proceeding was suspended.
