               On Appeal from the 192nd Judicial District Court
                            Dallas County, Texas
                     Trial Court Cause No. 91-3873-K

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                  Before Justices Molberg, Goldstein, and Smith
                           Opinion by Justice Molberg
      We reinstate this appeal. This case was abated in January 1992 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; however,

nothing on that system indicated that a bankruptcy case was still pending.

      We then 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 the

appeal. See id. 42.3(b),(c).
