On Petition for Permissive Appeal from the 464th Judicial District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.
ORDER
Before Justices Benavides, Hinojosa, and Tijerina
Order Per Curiam
Rio Grande Regional Hospital, Inc., HCA Health Services of Texas, Inc., Resource Corporation of America & Recovery of Texas, LLC, and Esther Akindayomi, et al. filed a joint petition for permissive appeal on August 6, 2020. See generally TEX. R. APP. P. 28.3. The parties agree that all requirements for a permissive appeal have been met. Rio Grande Regional Hospital, Inc., HCA Health Services of Texas, Inc., and Resource Corporation of America & Recovery of Texas, LLC request permission to appeal the trial court's judgment, and Esther Akindayomi, et al. request permission to cross-appeal.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the petition for permissive appeal is of the opinion that the petition should be granted. Accordingly, we GRANT permission to appeal. Thus, a notice of appeal and a notice of cross-appeal are deemed to have been filed on this date. See id. R. 28.3(k); see also id. 25.1 (c) ("A party who seeks to alter the trial court's judgment or other appealable order must file a notice of appeal."). The appeal will be governed by the rules for accelerated appeals. See id. R. 28.1 ("The deadlines and procedures for filing the record and briefs in an accelerated appeal are provided in Rules 35.1 and 38.6.").
We direct the Clerk of the Court to file a copy of this order with the trial court clerk. See id. R. 28.3(k).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
PER CURIAM Delivered and filed the 3rd of December, 2020.
