ConcoPhillips Gas Company and GPM Gas Trading Company n/k/a ConocoPhillips Gas
Company and GPM Gas Trading Company n/k/a DCP Midstream Marketing, L.L.C.,
("appellants") filed a notice of appeal from the trial court's order signed October 7, 2011, in
cause number 99-DCV-107968.           That appeal was assigned to this court under our
appellate case number 14-11-00944-CV.
       On November 21, 2011, appellants filed a petition for writ of mandamus that
complains of the same order. The original proceeding has been assigned our case number
14-11-01004-CV.
       On December 6, 2011, the court requested the parties to advise this court of their
respective positions on whether the mandamus proceedings should be consolidated with
the interlocutory appeal. The parties' responses indicate they favor consolidation.
       Accordingly, the court, on its own motion, orders the appeal and original
proceeding CONSOLIDATED.

                                           PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Brown, Boyce, and McCally.
