MICHAEL GRADY TINDAL, Appellant v. CHAO TINDAL, Appellee
On Appeal from the 455th District Court Travis County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. D-1-FM-14-000326 Trial Court Cause No. D-1-GN-23-000621
Panel Consists of Justices Wise, Spain, and Hassan.
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
On February 22, 2024, appellant filed a motion to consolidate these related appeals. "Consolidation" is a formal procedure under the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, see Tex. R. Civ. P. 174, but not under the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. To avoid any confusion, the appeals will be "coordinated," not "consolidated." 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. The existing filing deadlines in case number 14-24-00087-CV will apply to both cases.
The motion is GRANTED.
