University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, Petitioner v. the Estate of Irene Esther Arancibia By…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that the 2005 amendment to Government Code §311.034 applies to the case, that the statutory notice prerequisites are jurisdictional, that Southwestern had actual notice of its fault under §101.101(c), and that an interlocutory appeal was proper. Justice Johnson dissented, arguing that Southwestern lacked actual notice and the suit should be dismissed.
