On Appeal from the 191st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-14-08108 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Lang, Evans, and Whitehill Opinion by Justice Whitehill
By order of September 24, 2015, we granted appellants’ counsel’s motion to withdraw.
Because a corporation may only appear through an attorney, we directed appellants in that same order to file a notice designating new counsel within thirty days. See Kunstoplast of Am., Inc. v. Formosa Plastics Corp. , 937 S.W.2d 455, 456 (Tex. 1996) (per curiam). We cautioned appellants that failure to timely obtain new counsel would result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. To date, however, appellants have not designated new counsel or *2 otherwise communicated with the Court regarding the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
