DIRECT APPEALS FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

---

The Public Utility Commission of Texas ("Commission") has filed a motion to consolidate the above-enumerated cause numbers 03-02-00001-CV, 03-02-00002-CV, and 03-02-00003-CV. These causes all involve the Commission as the defendant and involve the judicial review of the same Commission rule. Only one administrative record is necessary to review all three causes. Accordingly, we consolidate cause numbers 03-02-00002-CV and 03-02-00003-CV into cause number 03-02-00001-CV, which will proceed under the style Reliant Energy, Incorporated, American Electric Power Company and TXU Electric Company v. Public Utility Commission of Texas.
