        Appellant has filed a motion to consolidate these appeals. We grant the motion. We

appeals will proceed as one case under Appeal No. 04-13-00189-CV. The issues are to be
argued together in one brief, and if oral argument is requested and granted, the entire case must
be argued as a single appeal, with the total time limit for each party equal to the ordinary time
limit for a party in a single appeal. The court will dispose of the case in one opinion, judgment,
and mandate.
