to rule on their Motion to Dismiss under Chapter 27 within the time prescribed by

Section 27.005. Due to the trial court’s failure to rule, Defendant’s Motion to

Dismiss under Chapter 27 is considered to have been denied by operation of law.

This appeal is taken in accordance with Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §27.008 and

Tex. R. App. P. 28.1.

                                        III.

                                       IV.

      The appeal is taken to the First or Fourteenth District Court of Appeals in

Houston, Texas.

                                        V.

      Defendant is the party filing this notice.

                                       VI.

      An appellate court should expedite the appeal in this matter. Tex. Civ. Prac.

& Rem. Code § 27.008(b)

      WHERFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Defendant Wilfried P. Schmitz
