MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Vela Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

This appeal was abated by this Court on June 12, 1997, 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 appeal. On April 16, 2009, the Court ordered the parties to file an advisory regarding the status of the appeal and, if applicable,

a motion to reinstate the appeal or a motion to dismiss the appeal.

Appellee responded to the order by advising of the suggestion of death of appellant

and indicating the case should be reinstated and dismissed for want of prosecution.

Accordingly, we reinstate and DISMISS THE APPEAL FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION.
