BYRON G. SADLER, SANDRA SADLER, LACY HARBER, DOROTHY HARBER, AND LJH, LTD. Appellants, v. ERIC WHITE, Appellee.
ON APPEAL FROM THE 198TH DISTRICT COURT OF KERR COUNTY, TEXAS
Before Justice Benavides, Tijerina, and Silva
ORDER
PER CURIAM
This cause is before the Court on its own motion. On January 30, 2024, this Court abated the appeal pursuant to appellants' request. That same day, we ordered appellants "to file, on or before March 15, 2024, either: (1) a motion to reinstate the appeal, or (2) a motion to dismiss the appeal." To date, appellants have filed neither a motion to reinstate the appeal nor a motion to dismiss the appeal.
To effectuate our duty to promptly resolve the issues in this case and to preserve the parties' respective rights, the Court concludes it is necessary to take further action with respect to appellants' outstanding obligation. See Tex. R. App. P. 29.3, 43.6. Therefore, the Court hereby orders appellants to file, on or before Tuesday, April 2, 2024, at 5:00 p.m., either: (1) a motion to reinstate the appeal, or (2) a motion to dismiss the appeal. Should appellants fail to meet this deadline, the instant cause shall automatically be reinstated on April 3, 2024. Upon reinstatement, the parties' briefing schedule shall commence, and appellants' brief will be due twenty (20) days after reinstatement of the appeal. See id. R. 38.6(a). Appellee's brief, if any, shall be due twenty (20) days after appellants file their brief. See id. R. 38.6(b). Accordingly, IT IS SO ORDERED.
