               On Appeal from the 256th Judicial District Court
                            Dallas County, Texas
                     Trial Court Cause No. 97-2990-Z

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                Before Justices Myers, Partida-Kipness, and Garcia
                             Opinion by Justice Myers
      We reinstate this appeal. This case was abated in February 1998 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 dismissed on July 31,

1998, 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. 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).
