S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-12-00886-CV

TENET HEALTHSYSTEM HOSPITALS DALLAS, INC., Appellant V. NORTH TEXAS MEDICAL GROUP, P.A, Appellee

On Appeal from the 193rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 05-06727-L

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Schenck, Reichek, and Carlyle Opinion by Justice Reichek We reinstate this appeal. This case was abated in 2013 due to bankruptcy. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 8.2. The Court conducted an independent review of the federal Public

Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system which shows the bankruptcy

case associated with this appeal was discharged on April 24, 2019, effectively

dissolving the automatic stay.

We notified the parties by letter, requesting they inform the Court of the status

of the bankruptcy and of this appeal. We cautioned that the failure to respond would

result in the appeal being dismissed for want of prosecution. See id. 42.3(b),(c). To

date, neither party has responded. Because we gave the parties an opportunity to show why we should not

dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution and no one responded, we dismiss this

appeal. See id. 42.3(b),(c).
