The April 7 trustee sale of the former Central Hospital of Bowie (Texas), as well as the pending April 10 sale of material seized from the building on a tax warrant, are both put on indefinite hold as the owners filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy, the Bowie News reported. Officials from Bowie Real Estate Holdings LP, who own the closed hospital, filed for bankruptcy in federal court on April 6, one day before the building foreclosure sale. On March 26, a tax warrant was executed at the building to seize personal property, including numerous medical supplies, which could settle the more than $113,743.53 in delinquent taxes owed by the company operated by Dr. Hasan F. Hashmi and his two sons, including Faraz Hashmi, who was Central Hospital’s chief executive officer. The family closed two other hospitals it owns during the last year.
