The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Petitioner v. Kia Bailey and Larry Bailey, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the appellate court that the substitution of the University of Texas Health Science Center as defendant under §101.106(f) of the Texas Tort Claims Act is not barred by the health‑care liability statute of limitations, because the relation‑back doctrine does not apply to the addition of a new party and the suit is deemed, for all purposes, a suit against the governmental unit.
