                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

    Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Yañez and Benavides
                  Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       This petition for writ of mandamus was abated by this Court on August 8, 2002, 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 proceeding. On

January 15, 2009, the Court ordered the parties to file a status advisory and, if applicable,

a motion to reinstate or a motion to dismiss. The order notified the parties that failure to

respond to the order would result in reinstatement and dismissal for want of prosecution.
      The parties have failed to respond.        Accordingly, we reinstate the original

mandamus proceeding and dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus for want of

prosecution. See TEX . R. APP. P. 42.3(b).



                                                      PER CURIAM


Memorandum Opinion delivered and filed
this the 12th day of March, 2009.
