TEMPLE OF THE SUPREME MOTHER GODDESS MAHADEVI SHAKIT OF AMERICA, CORPORATION, Appellant v. WELLS FARGO BANK N.A. TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 134th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-15-04934
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Lang-Miers, and Justice Stoddart
Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
Appellant is not represented by counsel. Because a corporation may only appear through an attorney, we directed appellant, by order of November 10, 2015, to notify this court within thirty days of the date of the order of the name, state bar number, mailing and email addresses, and telephone number of counsel. See Kunstoplast of Am., Inc. v. Formosa Plastics Corp., 937 S.W.2d 455, 456 (Tex. 1996) (per curiam). We cautioned appellant that failure to timely obtain new counsel would result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. To date, however, appellant has not designated new counsel or otherwise communicated with the Court regarding the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3; see also Norvelle v. PNC Mortgage, 472 S.W.3d. 444, 444 (Tex. App.-Fort Worth Aug. 20, 2015, no pet.) (discerning that corporations and other business entities generally may appear in courts only through licensed counsel, because as fictional legal persons, they cannot physically appear and sign legal documents). 151289F.P05
