FM FORREST, INC. AND FRED F. MORGAN, Appellants v. GRUPPO FORMSTAR, LLC, Appellee
On Appeal from the 191st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-16-13975
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Goldstein, and Justice Smith
MEMORANDUM OPINION
ROBERT D. BURNS, III CHIEF JUSTICE.
We reinstate this appeal. We abated this appeal in 2017 due to bankruptcy. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.2. The Court conducted an independent review of the federal Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system which shows the bankruptcy case associated with this appeal was terminated on November 29, 2017, effectively dissolving the automatic stay.
We notified the parties by letter, requesting they inform the Court of the status of the bankruptcy and of this appeal. We cautioned that the failure to respond would result in the appeal being dismissed for want of prosecution. See id. 42.3(b), (c). To date, neither party has responded.
Because we gave the parties an opportunity to show why we should not dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution and no one responded, we dismiss this appeal. See id. 42.3(b), (c).
JUDGMENT
In accordance with this Court's opinion of this date, the appeal is DISMISSED.
Judgment entered.
