RONALD MARTIN AND RICHARD C. MARTIN, Appellants

CHRISTIAN CARE CENTER, INC., Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. cc86-1597-b
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Smith
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
We reinstate this appeal. In 1987, we abated this case due to 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 does not show a
pending bankruptcy case associated with this appeal.
We notified the parties by letter, 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); Brewer v. Admiral Ins. Co., 2002 WL 31312990, at *1
(Tex. App.—Dallas Oct. 16, 2002, no writ) (per curiam) (not designated for
publication).
