CARY SCHULMAN AND JENNIFER LUGO, Appellants v. JIM AND DEBRA ROSS, Appellees
On Appeal from the County Court Rockwall County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CI-11-030
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Goldstein, and Justice Smith
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
We reinstate this appeal. In 2012, we withdrew our mandate and abated this case 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 October 16, 2013, 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); Brewer v. Admiral Ins. Co., 2002 WL 31312990, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Oct. 16, 2002, no writ) (per curiam) (not designated for publication).
