MEMORANDUM OPINION


 Before Justices Yañez, Rodriguez, and Benavides

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

	This appeal was abated by this Court on May 29, 1997, due to the bankruptcy of
one of the parties to this appeal.   See 11 U.S.C. § 362; see generally Tex. R. App. P. 8. 
Since the abatement there has been no activity in this appeal.  On April 16, 2009, the Court
ordered the parties to file an advisory regarding the status of the appeal and, if applicable,
a motion to reinstate the appeal or a motion to dismiss the appeal.  
	Appellee responded to the order by filing a motion to dismiss, advising the Court that
appellant was discharged in bankruptcy.  Accordingly, appellee's motion to dismiss is
GRANTED and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED. Costs will be taxed against appellant.
See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs
against the appellant."). 
										PER CURIAM
Memorandum Opinion delivered and
filed this the 4th day of June, 2009.
