Texas Supreme Court
Christopher Leigh John, Petitioner v. Marshall Health Services, Inc. and Harrison County Hospital Association, Inc…
September 20, 200144 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 1183
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court's "Final Judgment" was a final, appealable judgment despite not addressing the settlement defendants, and that Rule 306a(5) imposes no filing deadline for motions to extend post‑judgment periods. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals' dismissal for lack of jurisdiction and remanded for merits consideration.
