After the abatement, no party to this appeal sought reinstatement or otherwise advised of the status of the bankruptcy proceeding. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.3. We have now been informed that the bankruptcy case related to this original proceeding concluded on March 26, 1997.1 On October 27, 2016, this Court notified the parties that this original proceeding would be dismissed for want of prosecution unless they filed a status report providing reason to retain it. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b). No response was filed. We dismiss this original proceeding for want of prosecution. 1 We considered this appeal as part of an ongoing review of cases that were abated for bankruptcy but did not reflect a final disposition or current status report from the parties. __________________________________________ Jeff Rose, Chief Justice Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Field and Goodwin Dismissed for Want of Prosecution Filed: March 29, 2017 2
