                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                Before Justices Osborne, Pedersen, III, and Nowell
                            Opinion by Justice Nowell
      We reinstate this appeal. This case was abated in 1991 due to bankruptcy. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 8.2. The Court conducted an independent review of the federal Public

Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system; however, nothing on that

system indicated that a bankruptcy case was still pending.

      We then 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

would result in the appeal being dismissed for want of prosecution.          See id.

42.3(b),(c). To date, neither 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 the

appeal. See id. 42.3(b),(c).
