        Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Goldstein
                         Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
      This appeal is reinstated. In 2019, we abated this case due to bankruptcy. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 8.2. The Court conducted an independent review of the federal Public

Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system which shows the bankruptcy

case associated with this appeal was terminated on March 29, 2021, effectively

dissolving the automatic stay.

      We notified the parties by letter, requesting they inform the Court of the status

of the bankruptcy and of this appeal. In response, appellant filed an unopposed
motion to dismiss the appeal. We grant appellant’s motion and dismiss this appeal.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1).
