APPELLEE

                       APPELLANT MOTION TO REINSTATE APPEAL

          NOW COMES, Primestar Construction, Inc. ("Appellant"), to file this, her Motion for

Rehearing to Vacate the Order of Dismissal and Reinstate the Appeal, and respectfully shows the

Courl as follows:

          On January 30, 2018, the Court of Appeals for the Fifth District of Texas at Dallas,

dismissed this case pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42. (3)b, (c). Appellant submits that the dismissal

of the appeal was not due to conscious indifference but rather caused by accident or mistake.

This matter was dismissed because the $205.00 filing fees were not paid, and the docketing

statement was not submitted. Due to clerical error, the undersigned attorney had not received the

post card mailings requesting the docketing statement and filing fees. However, both will be

submitted today.

          Appellant believes that she has a meritorious claim and wishes to proceed with her

appeal.   in light of the foregoing. Appellant requests that the Courl vacate the order of dismissal

entered into these proceedings and reinstate the case for appeal. Finally, since the time for    filing

a   brief has not occurred, Appellee, City of Dallas, will not be prejudiced by the relief requested

in this Motion.
