These lawsuits involve common questions of law or of fact, relating to the best interests of the children involved in both suits. 2. Texas law provides that only one court should acquire and retain continuing exclusive jurisdiction of a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. It would serve the convenience of the Court, litigants, and counsel and would avoid multiplicity of suits, duplication of testimony, and unnecessary expense and delay, as well as prevent the potential entry of conflicting final orders, to have these lawsuits consolidated for trial. 3. The Department prays that the Court grant the Motion to Consolidate and consolidate these lawsuits under cause number 19-2377-D in the 321st Judicial District Court of SMITH County.
