Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that, for purposes of the Texas Medical Liability Act’s expert‑report requirement, a "party" is any defendant named in the pleading regardless of whether service of process has been effected, and that service of the expert report need not follow Rule 106. The Court affirmed the Court of Appeals’ judgment.
