Opinion
No. 05-14-01395-CV
04-16-2019
On Appeal from the 192nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-12-04033
ORDER
This appeal was abated January 12, 2015 due to appellant filing a petition for bankruptcy. Our independent review of the federal Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system indicates the bankruptcy case associated with this matter was closed on May 18, 2017, effectively dissolving the automatic stay that prompted the abatement. Accordingly, we REINSTATE the appeal.
By letter dated March 14, 2019, we informed counsel of record that the appeal would be reinstated and dismissed for want of prosecution unless, within ten days, any party gave cause as to why it should not be dismissed. Counsel for appellant responded by filing a motion to withdraw as counsel. No other party responded.
We DENY the motion without prejudice to refiling an amended motion that complies with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.5. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(a).
