ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant in both appeals, Galveston Central Appraisal District, has filed an unopposed motion to consolidate these two appeals. "Consolidation" is a formal procedure under the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, but not under the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. To avoid any confusion, the appeals will be "coordinated," not "consolidated." See Tex. R. Civ. P. 174. In particular:
1. Each appeal will remain open.
2. Any document meant to be filed in both appeals must bear both appeal numbers.
3. Regardless of whether a document applies to one or both appeals, any document filed is subject to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.4.
4. Each appeal will be submitted to the same panel.
5. If separate judgments are issued, the issuance date of the judgment in each appeal shall control all further deadlines in that appeal, including due dates for post-judgment motions and remittitur, expiration of plenary power, and issuance of the mandate.
6. Appellant's brief in both appeals is due December 12, 2024.
