LENOLA CORPORATION, Appellant v. DALLAS COUNTY, CITY OF DESOTO, DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, DALLAS COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT, DALLAS COUNTY SCHOOL EQUALIZATION FUND, AND PARKLAND HOSPITAL DISTRICT, Appellees
On Appeal from the 298th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. TX-14-41432
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Lang-Miers, and Justice Stoddart
Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
Our records in this case indicate appellant Lenola Corporation is not currently represented by counsel. Sulma Gonzales signed the notice of appeal with "Derivatively on Behalf of Lenola Corporation as Shareholder and Corporate Representative" designated below her signature. By letter dated October 11, 2016, we informed Ms. Gonzales that, in Texas, a corporation may appear and be represented in court only by a licensed attorney and directed her to provide the Court with the name and address of counsel within thirty days. See Kunstoplast of Am., Inc. v. Formosa Plastics Corp., U.S.A., 937 S.W.2d 455, 456 (Tex. 1996). We cautioned her that failure to do so would result in the appeal being dismissed without further notice. Although Ms. Gonzales filed a response, to date, she has not provided the Court with the name and address of counsel.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c).
