on Motion for Temporary and Permanent Sealing of Court Records" STAYED pending this

Court's resolution of appellants' appeal. On May 7, 2014, the Court was advised that appellants

had filed bankruptcy petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of

Texas. We abated the appeal and administratively closed the case. By order dated September 23,

2015 we reinstated the appeal following notification that the bankruptcy court had dismissed the

bankruptcy cases filed by each appellant. By our opinion of this date, we have ordered the

          This is an appeal of a temporary and permanent sealing order signed April 10, 2014. 1 On

September 23, 2015, we granted the motion to withdraw filed by appellants' counsel of record.

Because appellants are corporations, we advised appellants that they could only appear before

this Court through an attorney. See Kunstop/ast of Am., Inc. v. Formosa Plastics Corp., 937
S.W.2d 455, 456 (Tex. 1996); Simmons, Jannace & Stagg, L.L.P. v. Buzbee Law Firm, 324
S.W.3d 833, 833 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2010, no pet.). We ordered appellants to file

within thirty days of the date of the order, the name, State Bar number, mailing address, email

address, and telephone number of new counsel. We advised appellants that failure to provide the

required information within the time specified would result in the dismissal ofthe appeal without

       Notice of the Court's order was sent to the domestic address on file with the Court for appellants as well as to two foreign addresses
provided by appellants' counsel in their motion to withdraw as counsel of record. The copy of the order mailed to the domestic address on file
with the Court was returned as undeliverable. The Court attempted to contact appellants at the telephone number provided to the Court, but the
telephone number was invalid. Appellants have failed in their "continuing duty to keep the court and parties apprised of their correct and current
address" so that the Court may comply with its duty to send notification to the parties in the case. Mitchell v. Mitchell, No. Il-l 0-00 188-CV,
