ORDER
The court has examined the record in related Appeal Nos. 04-14-00479-CV and 04-14-
00480-CV and finds that, in the interest of efficient administration, the two cases should be
consolidated for purposes of appeal. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Appeal Nos. 04-14-
00479-CV and 04-14-00480-CV are CONSOLIDATED, and shall be treated as an accelerated
appeal. The parties shall file motions, briefs and any other pleadings as if the two causes were
one case, but with both cause numbers designated on the cover. The court may dispose of both
causes with the same order, opinion and mandate.
The court reporter’s record having been filed on August 4, 2014, the appellant’s brief is
now due on August 25, 2014.
