Appellee
On Appeal from the 191st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-14-08108
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang, Evans, and Whitehill
Opinion by Justice Whitehill
By order of September 24, 2015, we granted appellants’ counsel’s motion to withdraw.
Because a corporation may only appear through an attorney, we directed appellants in that same
order to file a notice designating new counsel within thirty days. See Kunstoplast of Am., Inc. v.
Formosa Plastics Corp., 937 S.W.2d 455, 456 (Tex. 1996) (per curiam). We cautioned
appellants that failure to timely obtain new counsel would result in dismissal of the appeal
without further notice. To date, however, appellants have not designated new counsel or
otherwise communicated with the Court regarding the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the
appeal.
