                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Vela
                      Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       This appeal was abated by this Court on May 5, 2005, 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. The order notified the

parties that failure to respond to the order would result in reinstatement and dismissal of

the appeal for want of prosecution.

       The parties have failed to respond. Accordingly, we reinstate and DISMISS THE

APPEAL FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION. See TEX . R. APP. P. 42.3(b).



                                                        PER CURIAM


Memorandum Opinion delivered and
filed this the 21st day of May, 2009.
