OLIVE & VINE, Appellant

V. CITY CENTRE, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 4 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1113826

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This is an appeal from a judgment signed October 31, 2018. No counsel has made an appearance on behalf of appellant Olive & Vine.

Only a licensed attorney can appear and represent an entity in litigation. Kunstoplast of Am., Inc. v. Formosa Plastics Corp., U.S.A., 937 S.W.2d 455, 456 (Tex. 1996); Sherman v. Boston, 486 S.W.3d 88, 95 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2016, pet. denied). On January 24, 2019, we instructed appellant to obtain counsel for this appeal and to provide proof of the retention on or before February 4, 2019. We stated that if appellant did not comply, the court would dismiss appellant’s appeal for want of prosecution. No proof of retention of counsel or other response has been filed.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b),(c); Amron Props., LLC v. McGown Oil Co., No. 14-03-01432-CV, 20004 WL 438783, at *1, Mar. 11, 2004, no pet.)(mem. op.).
