                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
         Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Goldstein, and Justice Smith
                         Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
      We reinstate this appeal. We abated this appeal in 2017 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 November 29, 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).
