Christopher J. PADILLA, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
From the 399th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2013CR4826B and 2013CR4827
Honorable Ray Olivarri, Judge Presiding
ORDER
The court has examined the clerk's records in Nos. 04-15-00438-CR and 04-15-00439-CR and is of the opinion that, in the interest of efficient administration, they should be consolidated for purposes of briefing and argument.
We, therefore, ORDER Nos. 04-15-00438-CR and 04-15-00439-CR consolidated for purposes of briefing and argument on appeal. The parties must file motions, briefs, and other pleadings as if the appeals were one but put both appeal numbers in the style of the case. However, a record must be filed in each appeal, the record in each case will remain separate and, if supplementation of the record becomes necessary, the supplemental material must be filed in the appeal to which it applies. The cases must be argued together in one brief, as in a single appeal, and if oral argument is requested and granted, the entire case must be argued as a single appeal, with the total time limit for each party equal to the ordinary time limit for a single appeal. The court will dispose of the appeals with the same judgment, opinion, and mandate. This order does not extend the briefing schedule.
