JACK D. NOLAN, Appellant

V.

EDWARD J. PURCELL, Appellee

On Appeal from the 215th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 85-55913

MEMORANDUM OPINION

            This is an appeal from a judgment signed August 28, 1989.  On April 19, 1990, this court abated the appeal because appellant, Jack D. Nolan, petitioned for voluntary bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, under cause number 90-00303-C-7.  See Tex. R. App. P. 8.2.  This appeal has been abated and treated as a closed case since August 28, 1989.  The court has not been advised that any party wishes to reinstate the appeal. 

            On July 8, 2010, this court notified the parties that unless any party to the appeal filed a motion demonstrating good cause to retain the appeal on or before July 23, 2010, 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 Anderson, Frost, and Brown.
