                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

              Appellants R.R. (Father) and A.C. (Mother) each filed a notice of appeal from the

trial court’s oral ruling on December 13, 2023, terminating their parental rights to their child.
The trial court subsequently entered a written final termination order on January 2, 2024,

consistent with its previous oral ruling. Mother then filed a second notice of appeal from that

written order.

                 On this Court’s own motion, we consolidate for all purposes the appeal in cause

number 03-24-00069-CV with the appeal in cause number 03-23-00856-CV. Accordingly, all

records and documents filed in cause number 03-24-00069-CV are consolidated into cause

number 03-23-00856-CV.          The consolidated appeal shall proceed under cause number

03-23-00856-CV, and cause number 03-24-00069-CV is hereby dismissed.               See Guyaux
