COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
NORMA DE LA TORRE, Appellant,
v.
NOE FLORES SALINAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 93rd District Court
of Hidalgo County, Texas.
ORDER
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Longoria and Hinojosa
Order Per Curiam
Appellant filed a notice of appeal in this cause on July 1, 2009. The appeal was
previously abated for the purposes of settlement negotiations. On November 12, 2009,
and again on November 17, 2009, the parties notified the Court that a portion of the
underlying dispute had settled. On February 6, 2019 and October 15, 2019, appellant
notified the court via letter that appellee has passed away.
Since then, appellant failed to take any further action to notify the Court regarding
the status of this appeal. Accordingly, the Court, having examined and fully considered
the proceedings herein and the extended duration of time that this matter has been
pending, is of the opinion that this cause should be and is ABATED.
The Court hereby ORDERS appellant to file, within ten days of the date of this
order, an advisory regarding the status of this cause and, if applicable, a motion to
reinstate, dismiss, and/or sever. The failure to respond to this Court’s directive may
result in the dismissal of the appeal in its entirety for want of prosecution. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 42.3(b),(c).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
6th day of April, 2020.
