                     On Appeal from the 95th District Court
                              Dallas County, Texas
                       Trial Court Cause No. 95-02986-D

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                   Before Justices Schenck, Reichek, and Carlyle
                            Opinion by Justice Reichek
      We reinstate this appeal. In March 1996, we abated this case due to the

appellants’ bankruptcies. See TEX. R. APP. P. 8.2. The Court has conducted an

independent review of the federal Public Access to Court Electronic Records

(PACER) system which shows there are no pending bankruptcy cases associated

with these appellants, effectively dissolving the automatic stay.

      We notified the parties by letter dated May 7, 2021, requesting they inform

the Court of the status of the bankruptcies 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, no 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); Tenet Healthsys. Hosps. Dallas, Inc. v. N. Tex. Med.

Grp., 2021 WL 1808611, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas May 6, 2021, no pet. h.) (mem.
