MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Smith
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns

This appeal is reinstated. In 2014, we abated this appeal 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 associated with this appeal terminated on September 11, 2019, effectively dissolving the automatic stay.

We notified the parties by letter dated May 7, 2021, requesting they inform the Court of the status of the bankruptcy and of this appeal. We cautioned the parties that failure to respond might result in the dismissal of this appeal without further notice. Appellant failed to respond to our inquiry. Appellee, however, filed an unopposed notice of settlement and to close the case.

We dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3 (b)(c).
