VANZON INTERNATIONAL, INC., Appellant

V.

ROTATING SERVICES, INC. and KENT A . WEIGHTMAN, Appellees

On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 1

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 653,880

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

            This is an appeal from a judgment signed November 17, 1995.  On May 2, 1996, this court abated this appeal because appellees Rotating Services, Inc. and Kent A. Weightman petitioned for voluntary bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, under cause number 96-40610-H1-11.  See Tex. R. App. P. 8.2. 

Through the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system, the court has learned that the bankruptcy case was closed on April 11, 1997.  The parties failed to advise this court of the bankruptcy court action.

            On November 18, 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 Seymore, Boyce and Christopher.
