On Appeal from the 280th District Court

Harris County, Texas

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          We dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.  On August 19, 2010, we abated this case because appellant, who was a defendant in the trial court, filed a suggestion of bankruptcy.  On October 28, 2011, we advised the parties that the Court had learned from the bankruptcy court’s information service that the bankruptcy case was ordered closed on September 13, 2010 and that, unless a party to the appeal filed a motion to retain by November 24, 2011, the appeal would be reinstated and dismissed for want of prosecution.  A motion to retain has not been filed.

Accordingly, we reinstate the appeal on our active docket, and we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c).

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Bland, and Sharp.
