Opinion on Interlocutory Order
Opinion by:
PAUL W. GREEN, Justice.
Continental Airlines filed a motion to dismiss, alleging that Ralph and Paula • Thompson had no standing to perfect this appeal as debtors under Chapter 7 bankruptcy. We deny the motion to dismiss.
On May 17, 1994, Ralph Thompson was allegedly injured while exiting an aircraft owned by Continental. A year later, Thompson and his wife filed a petition under Chapter 13 of the federal bankruptcy code, but they did not disclose the potential cause of action against Continental. The Thompsons’ bankruptcy plan was confirmed in June 1995.
