LINDA JOHNSON AND STEPHEN WAYNE JOHNSON, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS GUARDIANS OF KEASHIA
MCLINN, A MINOR v. ROBERT THIGPEN, JR., INDIVIDUALLY AND D/B/A THIGPEN CATTLE COMPANY
AND THIGPEN CATTLE COMPANY, AN UNIDENTIFIED COMPANY; from Falls County; 10th district (10-
06-00174-CV, ___ S.W.3d ___, 11-21-07, pet. April 2008 )(motion to reinstate, dismissal, lack of due
diligence)
Because the trial court could properly dismiss the Johnson's case for failure of diligent prosecution or for
failure to comply with the Rule 165a(2) time standards or under its inherent authority, we do not find that
the trial court abused its discretion in refusing to reinstate the case under Rule 165a(3). Having
overruled Johnson’s two issues, we affirm the trial court's dismissal.
