            Appellants, Venture Cotton Cooperative and Noble Americas Corp., have filed in this court a motion to consolidate Cause No. 11-11-00093-CV and Cause No. 11-11-00094-CV because both appeals arise from the same hearing and involve similar issues.  In the motion, counsel for appellants certifies that he has conferred with opposing counsel and that opposing counsel are not opposed to the consolidation of the two causes. 

            The motion to consolidate is granted, and Cause No. 11-11-00094-CV is hereby consolidated into Cause No. 11-11-00093-CV.  The resulting appeal is styled and numbered:  Venture Cotton Cooperative and Noble Americas Corp. v. Shelby Alan Freeman et al., Cause No. 11-11-00093-CV.
