In The

Fourteenth Court of Appeals

NO. 14-15-00634-CV

POWELL DORFAYE, ET AL, Appellant

V.

BRECKENRIDGE AT CITY VIEW APARTMENTS, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 2 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1064270

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This is an appeal from a judgment signed July 20, 2015. On August 12, 2015, this court abated the appeal because appellant petitioned for voluntary bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, under cause number 15-33972. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.2.

Through the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system, the court learned that the bankruptcy case was closed on October 21, 2015. The parties failed to advise this court of the bankruptcy court action.

On October 6, 2016, this court issued an order stating that unless any party to the appeal filed a motion demonstrating good cause to retain the appeal within twenty days of the date of the order, this appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b). No response was filed.

Accordingly, we reinstate the appeal and order it dismissed.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Jamison, and Donovan.
