On Appeal from the 298th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-15-02779
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Schenck, Reichek, and Carlyle
Opinion by Justice Carlyle
We reinstate this appeal. In 2017, we abated this case due to CACH, LLC’s
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 February 12,
2020, 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 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); Cross v. Beutel, No. 05-91-01700-CV, 2021 WL
1851040, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas May 10, 2021, no pet. h.) (mem. op.).
