A N D U M  O P I N I O N
This is an appeal from a judgment signed January 7, 1988.  On
August 25, 1988, this court abated this appeal because appellee/cross-appellant
Eugene Tompkins, petitioned for voluntary bankruptcy in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, under cause number
88-06216-G5-7.  See Tex. R. App. P.
8.2.

            Through the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER)
system, the court has learned that the bankruptcy case was closed on January
19, 2001.  The parties failed to advise this court of the bankruptcy court
action.
            On December 3, 2009, this court issued an order stating that
unless any party to the appeal filed a motion demonstrating good cause to
retain the appeal within twenty days of the date of the order, this appeal
would be dismissed for want of prosecution.  See Tex. R. App. P.
42.3(b).  No response was filed.  
            Accordingly, we reinstate the appeal and order it dismissed.
