Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
September 18, 2019

No. 04-19-00543-CV

Elsa PRADO, Individually and as Representative of the Estate of Rolando Prado, Jr., Deceased,
and as Next Friend of A.P., Minor; Elizabeth Prado; Rolando Prado; and Maria Prado,
Appellants

v.

LONESTAR RESOURCES, INC.; Union Pacific Railroad Company; and Ezra Alderman
Ranches, Inc.,
Appellees

From the 81st Judicial District Court, La Salle County, Texas
Trial Court No. 16-07-00095-CVL
Honorable Susan D. Reed, Judge Presiding

ORDER
Sitting: Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Irene Rios, Justice
Beth Watkins, Justice

Appellee’s motion to dismiss this appeal is denied.

We note that both the motion to dismiss and the response state there were two summary
judgment orders involving two separate defendants that were severed into two different trial
court cause numbers. However, both severance orders in the clerk’s record, a July 2, 2019 order
involving defendant Ezra Alderman Ranches, Inc., and a June 11, 2019 order involving Lonestar
Resources, Inc., show the claims against those two defendants were transferred to the same cause
number, 16-07-00095-CVL-A. This appeal will therefore proceed as one appeal unless the
parties demonstrate the appeals should proceed separately as appeals from two separate trial
court causes.
