A N D U M  O P I N I O N
This is an appeal from a judgment signed December 31, 1996.  On
August 28, 1997, this court abated this appeal because appellant petitioned for
voluntary bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Texas, under cause number 97-48083-H1-11.  See Tex. R. App.
P. 8.2.




            Through the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER)
system, the court has learned that the bankruptcy case was closed on January 25,
2000.  The parties failed to advise this court of the bankruptcy court action.
            On December 3, 2009, 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.
