On September 6, 2019, relator filed its unopposed motion to consolidate this petition with a related mandamus, cause number 05-l9-01017-CV, styled In Re Popsugar Inc. and a related interlocutory appeal, cause number 05-19-00736-CV, styled ShopStyle Inc. and Popsugar Inc. v. rewardStyle, Inc. All three proceedings challenge the trial court’s May 31, 2019 order denying special appearances and granting a rule 202 petition.
