VILLAGE CRESTMONT HOUSTON USA, L.L.C. AND WEST CRESTMONT HOUSTON USA, L.L.C., Appellants v. JOSE J. GAITAN, INDIVIDUALLY AND D/B/A EC & J REMODELING & PAINTING, Appellee
On Appeal from the 191st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-15-04688
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Brown, and Schenck
Opinion by Justice Schenck
By order of September 23, 2015, we granted appellants' counsel's motion to withdraw. Because a corporation may only appear through an attorney, we directed appellants in that same order to file a notice designating new counsel within thirty days. See Kunstoplast of Am., Inc. v. Formosa Plastics Corp., 937 S.W.2d 455, 456 (Tex. 1996) (per curiam). We cautioned appellants that failure to timely obtain new counsel would result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. To date, however, appellants have not designated new counsel or otherwise communicated with the Court regarding the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
