                                             Opinion by Justice Schenck

          By order of September 23, 2015, we granted appellants’ counsel’s motion to withdraw.

Because a corporation may only appear through an attorney, we directed appellants in that same

order to file a notice designating new counsel within thirty days. See Kunstoplast of Am., Inc. v.

Formosa Plastics Corp., 937 S.W.2d 455, 456 (Tex. 1996) (per curiam).                                                       We cautioned

appeal.
