GENERAL LEASING COMPANY, Appellant

V.

JIMMY DUNCAN AND LILLIAN DUNCAN, Appellees

On Appeal from the 280th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 87-04806

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

This appeal is from a judgment signed December 29, 1989.  On February 14, 1991, this court abated the appeal because Jimmy Duncan and Lillian Duncan, appellees, petitioned for voluntary bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, under cause number 90-07584-H3-7.  See Tex. R. App. P. 8.2. 

            This appeal has been abated and treated as a closed case since February 14, 1991.  The court has not been advised that any party wishes to reinstate the appeal.  On July 8, 2010, 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.

                                                                        PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Brown, Sullivan, and Christopher.
