               On Appeal from the 219th Judicial District Court
                            Collin County, Texas
                   Trial Court Cause No. 219-05005-2018

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
        Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Goldstein
                         Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
      We reinstate this appeal. This case was abated on June 6, 2022 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 February

1, 2023, 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. 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 TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).
