MEMORANDUM OPINION

W. KENNETH LAW, Chief Justice.

Appellant Douglas K. Conley has notified this Court that he has filed for bankruptcy protection (United States Bankruptcy Court, W.D. Texas, chapter 7, case number 05-18994). Accordingly, his appeal is stayed. See 11 U.S.C. § 362; Tex.R.App.P. 8. Any party may file a motion to reinstate upon the occurrence of an event that would allow the case to proceed. See Tex.R.App.P. 8.3. Failure to notify this Court of a lift of the automatic stay or the termination of the bankruptcy case may result in the dismissal of the cause for want of prosecution. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(b).
