                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                   Before Justices Schenck, Reichek, and Carlyle
                            Opinion by Justice Carlyle
      We reinstate this appeal. In 2017, we abated this case due to CACH, LLC’s

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 February 12,

2020, effectively dissolving the automatic stay.

      We notified the parties by letter dated May 7, 2021, requesting they inform

the Court of the status of the bankruptcy and of this appeal. We cautioned that the

failure to respond would result in the appeal being dismissed for want of prosecution.

See id. 42.3(b), (c). To date, neither party has responded.
      Because we gave the parties an opportunity to show why we should not

dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution and no one responded, we dismiss this

appeal. See id. 42.3(b), (c); Cross v. Beutel, No. 05-91-01700-CV, 2021 WL

1851040, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas May 10, 2021, no pet. h.) (mem. op.).
