                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                Before Justices Myers, Partida-Kipness, and Garcia
                             Opinion by Justice Garcia
      This appeal is reinstated. In 2018, we abated this appeal due to Diane

Whittington’s bankruptcy. See TEX. R. APP. P. 8.2. Since the abatement, there has

been no activity in this appeal. The Court conducted an independent review of the

federal Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system which shows

the debtor was discharged on August 30, 2018.

      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 might

result in the appeal being dismissed for want of prosecution. See id. 42.3(b),(c).
      In response, appellants filed a motion to dismiss the appeal stating that

appellants have settled all claims against appellee and requesting the Court to

dismiss this appeal. We grant appellants’ motion and dismiss this appeal. See id.

42.1(a).
