Esther Bird and Kenneth Wetcher, M.d., P.a., and Associates, Petitioners v. W.c.w., Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a psychologist owes no professional duty to a third‑party parent to avoid negligent misdiagnosis of child abuse and that the psychologist’s affidavit identifying the father as the alleged abuser is privileged, reversing the Court of Appeals and granting summary judgment for the defendants.
