               On Appeal from the 192nd Judicial District Court
                            Dallas County, Texas
                      Trial Court Cause No. 12-01813

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
          Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Smith
                         Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
      We reinstate this appeal. In 2013, we abated this case 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 December 14, 2017, 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); Brewer v. Admiral Ins. Co., 2002 WL 31312990, at *1

(Tex. App.—Dallas Oct. 16, 2002, no writ) (per curiam) (not designated for

publication).
