McAllen Medical Center, Inc., Petitioner v. Ramiro Cortez, Jr., Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court’s preliminary certification of a settlement‑only class was ripe for appellate review and that McAllen Medical Center had standing to challenge it. It reversed the Court of Appeals’ dismissal of the appeal, remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion, and vacated the trial court’s severance order to protect appellate jurisdiction.
