       Appellants are awaiting rulings on two matters: (1) The Court's Notice of Intent to

Dismiss; and (2) Appellants' Motion to Consolidate. The Motion to Consolidate was filed on July

10, 2015 and was not opposed. Appellants' Response to the Court' Notice of Intent to Dismiss

was filed on July 27, 2015. No response in opposition to Appellants' Response was filed by

Appellees. The Court has made no rulings on either motion. Appellants need rulings on these

motions before they can file their brief because they need guidance from the Court on how to

style the briefs if consolidated, how to reference the clerk's records if consolidated, and whether

to include arguments relating to cause number 01-15-00254-CV in the appeal to be filed in this

matter. The due date for the appeal in both this case and cause number 01-15-0254-CV are due

August 27, 2015. If this Motion is not granted, Appellants will need to file an additional

extension, as the briefs should not be filed without a ruling on these two material matters.

Therefore, Appellants respectfully request that the rulings on both motions be expedited and

ruled on before the August 27, 2015 deadline for filing the Appellants' Brief.

                                             Respectfully submitted,

                                             /s/ Marianne G. Robak
