JOE ANTHONY BEAMES, PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
ESTATE OF DEBORAH KAY DAVIS, Appellant
V.
EDWIN HOWARD HOOKS, JR., Appellee
On Appeal from the 98th District Court
Travis County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. D-1-GN-07-003482
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Joe Anthony Beames, Personal Representative of the Estate of
Deborah Kay Davis, has filed an unopposed motion to consolidate this appeal into
appellate cause number 01-14-00103-CV, Joe Anthony Beames, Personal
Representative of the Estate of Deborah Kay Davis v. Edwin Howard Hooks, Jr.,
for all purposes. In appellate cause number 01-14-00103-CV, appellant filed a
notice of appeal challenging the trial court’s order dismissing appellant’s case. In
appellate cause number 01-14-00105-CV, appellant filed a notice of appeal
challenging the trial court’s order denying appellant’s motion to reinstate.
Appellant asserts that the Court may review in the same appeal whether the trial
court erred in dismissing appellant’s case and whether the trial court erred in
denying appellant’s motion to reinstate. See, e.g., Mohammed v. Host Hotels &
Resorts, L.P., No. 05-12-00818-CV, 2013 WL 3771355 (Tex. App.—Dallas July
15, 2013, no pet.) (court addressed whether trial court abused its discretion in
dismissing appellant’s case and in denying appellant’s motion to reinstate).
The Court grants appellant’s motion and consolidates appellate cause
number 01-14-00103-CV and appellate cause number 01-14-00105-CV for all
purposes. The issues, records, and documents filed in appellate cause number 01-
14-00105-CV are consolidated into appellate cause number 01-14-00103-CV. The
consolidated appeal shall proceed under appellate cause number 01-14-00103-CV,
and appellate cause number 01-14-00105-CV is dismissed. See Berger v. Flores,
Nos. 03-10-00874-CV, 03-12-00415-CV, 2012 WL 4477405, at *1 (Tex. App.—
Austin Sept. 28, 2012, no pet.); BBG Group, L.L.C. v. MBI Global, L.L.C., No. 14-
12-00247-CV, 2012 WL 3241557, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Aug. 9,
2
2012, no pet.). Briefing will proceed under the briefing deadlines in appellate
cause number 01-14-00103-CV. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. We dismiss all other pending motions
as moot.
