      NO. D-1-GN-10-003787, HONORABLE LORA J. LIVINGSTON, JUDGE PRESIDING

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION

                  Appellant Walter Lee Hall, Jr. filed a bankruptcy petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy

Court of the Western District of Texas on January 24, 2011. We abated the appeal on June 1, see

Tex. R. App. P. 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, ordering Hall to inform us within ten calendar days of the resolution

of the bankruptcy proceeding or another event that would allow us to reinstate the appeal, warning

him that his failure to provide such notice would result in the appeal’s dismissal for want of

prosecution. See id. R. 42.3. On July 15, we were informed by appellees that the bankruptcy had

been dismissed on the bankruptcy trustee’s motion and that Hall was barred from filing another

bankruptcy petition for two years. The bankruptcy court signed the order of dismissal on June 28,

but as of July 19, Hall had not informed this Court of the dismissal. We dismiss the appeal for want

of prosecution.
