Gary Wayne Jaster, Petitioner v. Comet Ii Construction, Inc., Joe H. Schneider, Laura H. Schneider, and Austin…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Chapter 150's certificate‑of‑merit requirement applies only to the plaintiff who initiates a lawsuit and not to defendants, third‑party plaintiffs, or cross‑claimants, affirming the appellate court’s judgment. The Court’s reasoning was joined by a concurring opinion and opposed by a dissenting opinion.
