Rosa Serrano d/b/a The Lens Factory, Appellants, v. Texas Corporation; City Bank Texas, N.A.; Old Republic National Title Insurance Company, Appellees.
Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 7 of El Paso County, Texas (TC# 2015-DCV-1079/2013-DCV-3139) OR DER
On February 9, 2015, Appellant filed notice of appeal indicating her intent to appeal four vexatious litigant orders entered by the trial court in cause number 2013-DCV-3139. In an order entered on February 20, 2015, this Court determined that it did not have jurisdiction of two of those orders because they are not subject to an interlocutory appeal. On February 27, 2015, the trial court dismissed Appellant's claims against Appellees, City Bank Texas, N.A. (City Bank), and Old Republic National Title Insurance Company (Old Republic), and severed those claims into cause number 2015-DCV-1079. Appellant's claims against a third defendant remain pending in cause number 2013-DCV-3139. As a result of the severance order, all four of the vexatious litigant orders and the dismissal orders are appealable.
Appellant has filed a notice of appeal in cause number 2013-DCV-3139 and amended notice of appeal in cause number 2015-DCV-1079. She requests that the appeals be consolidated. We agree. It is therefore ORDERED that the notice of appeal filed in cause number 2013-DCV-3139 and the amended notice of appeal filed in cause number 2015-DCV-1079 be filed in our cause number 08-15-00044-CV as amended notices of appeal. Further, the Clerk of the Court is directed to change our records to reflect that this appeal is from cause number 2015-DCV-1079/2013-DCV-3139. The clerk's record and a supplemental clerk's record have been filed. The clerk's record contains the dismissal and severance orders. However, it does not contain the notice of appeal filed on April 2, 2015 and amended notice of appeal filed on April 9, 2015. Therefore, a supplemental clerk's record containing the notice of appeal and amended notice of appeal is due to be filed on April 24, 2015. Also, please note that the reporter's record is due to be filed with this Court on or before June 27, 2015.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 14th day of April, 2015.
