MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Charles Hofferber filed a notice of bankruptcy with this Court (bankruptcy filed in United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. Texas, chapter 7, case number 05- 47484). Accordingly, his appeal is stayed. See 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) (West 2004); Tex. R. App. P. 8.2. Any party may file a motion to reinstate upon the occurrence of an event which allows the case to proceed. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.3(a). Failure to notify this Court of a lift of the automatic stay or termination of the bankruptcy case may result in the dismissal of the cause for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).
