MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Brown, and Nowell
Opinion by Justice Bridges
We REINSTATE this appeal.
This appeal involves a dispute over the estate of Howard Gillis Thomas, Deceased. We
initially abated this appeal on October 5, 2016 pending the resolution of a related appeal of the
denial of a petition for bill of review. See Thomas v. 462 Thomas Family Properties, LP, 559
S.W.3d 634 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2018, pet. denied). This Court reversed the trial court’s judgment
with respect to the dismissal of the equitable bill of review proceeding and remanded the case to
the trial court for further proceedings. Id. at 645. By order dated July 2, 2019, the Court continued
the abatement of this appeal pending resolution in the trial court of the bill of review proceeding.
Before the Court is appellant’s unopposed motion to lift the abatement and dismiss this
appeal. Appellant informs the Court that he no longer wishes to pursue this appeal. Accordingly,
we grant appellant’s motion and dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1).
