ORDER

On January 15, 2013, this court reinstated this appeal after the bankruptcy actions filed by both appellants had been dismissed. Appellant Alper Karaali has appeared pro se in this appeal. We ordered that unless counsel made an appearance on behalf of Tien Shan, Inc., the corporate appellant, on or before January 28, 2013, the court would dismiss the corporation’s appeal. On January 29, 2013, appellant Alper Karaali filed a pro se brief. Counsel has not made an appearance on behalf of Tien Shan, Inc. A corporation is required to be represented by a licensed attorney on appeal. See Kunstoplast of Am., Inc. v. Formosa Plastics Corp., U.S.A., 937 S.W.2d 455, 456 (Tex. 1996).

Accordingly, we order the appeal on behalf of the corporation, Tien Shan, Inc. DISMISSED. Alper Karaali’s appeal remains pending before the court.
