THOMAS W. SANKEY, Appellant, v. TEXAS WINDSTORM INSURANCE ASSOCIATION; K2 CONSULTING & SERVICES, LLC; SHANNON L. KIMMEL; AND MIKE HAZLEWOOD, Appellees.
On Petition for Permissive Appeal from the 156th District Court of Aransas County, Texas.
Before Chief Justices Contreras and Justices Hinojosa and Silva
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Thomas W. Sankey has filed a petition for permissive interlocutory appeal challenging the trial court's order granting Texas Windstorm Insurance Association's Traditional Motion for Summary Judgment in trial court cause number 19-0268. See Tex. R. App. P. 28.3; Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(d), (f).
The parties filed an agreed motion for permissive interlocutory appeal with the trial court, which the trial court granted on August 18, 2021. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 51.014(d)(1); Tex.R.Civ.P. 168.
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 is deemed to have been filed on this date. See Tex. R. App. P. 28.3(k); see also id. R. 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).
