TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-10-00814-CV

Walter Lee Hall, Jr., Appellant

v.

U. S. Bank National Association, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 201ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. D-1-GN-10-002606, HONORABLE GISELA D. TRIANA-DOYAL, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Walter Lee Hall, Jr. filed a bankruptcy petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy

Court of the Western District of Texas on January 24, 2011. We abated the appeal on June 2, see

Tex. R. App. P. 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, ordering Hall to inform us within ten calendar days of the resolution

of the bankruptcy proceeding or another event that would allow us to reinstate the appeal, warning

him that his failure to provide such notice would result in the appeal’s dismissal for want of

prosecution. See id. R. 42.3. On July 15, we were informed by the appellees in another case filed

by Hall that the bankruptcy had been dismissed on the bankruptcy trustee’s motion and that Hall was

barred from filing another bankruptcy petition for two years. The bankruptcy court signed the order

of dismissal on June 28, but as of July 19, Hall had not informed this Court of the dismissal. We

dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion.
