Michelle Elaine Grata M.D. v. Eva Hernandez, Individually and a/n.F of J.H., a Minor Child · filed 2024-04-25(a)(9)

But that error, and the consequences of that error, are not reviewable in this accelerated interlocutory appeal. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 51.014(a)(9) (providing jurisdiction to review interlocutory order denying motion to dismiss for failure to serve expert report required by Texas Medical Liability Act but generally specifying “that an appeal may not be taken from an order granting an extension”).

Section 51.014(a)(9) permits an interlocutory appeal from an order denying relief under section 74.351(b), regardless of the motion’s label, but a nearly identical later motion cannot revive an unappealed order.

Texas Cityview Care Center LP D/B/A Cityview Care Center v. Francesca D. Foster · filed 2015-02-23(a)(9)

The plain language of section 51.014(a)(9) does not restrict the applicability of the section to denials of motions to dismiss; it permits an appeal from an interlocutory order that “denies all or part of the relief sought by a motion under Section 74.351(b).” Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(a)(9). ...

Alcides Cairus, M.D., Individually and D/B/A Alcides Cairus, M.D., P.A. v. Rosemary Gomez and Jesse Gomez · filed 2006-12-06(a)(9)

The order denying Cairus’s motion to dismiss is not a final order because it does not dispose of all pending parties and claims, see id., and it is not an appealable interlocutory order. Academy of Oriental Med., L.L.C. v. Andra, 173 S.W.3d 184, 187 (Tex. App.—Austin 2005, no pet.) (holding that an order denying a motion to dismiss a health-care liability claim for an insufficient expert report is not appealable); cf. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.

Soberon v. Robinson · filed 2006-06-29(a)(9)

As a threshold matter, Robinson argues Soberon is precluded from prosecuting this appeal because an appeal may not be taken from an order granting an extension under section 74.351. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(a)(9). The resolution of this complaint comes from the simple fact that Soberon's appeal is from the trial court's order dated February 9, 2006, which only ruled on Soberon's motion to dismiss. The record does not indicate any attempt to appeal the trial court's February 8, 2006, order which, inter alia , granted Robinson's request for an extension to file her expert report. As such, Soberon has properly invoked our jurisdiction.

Because the order that the Hospital attempts to appeal is neither an order that denies relief despite the lack of timely filed expert reports—a section 74.351(b) order made appealable by section 51.014(a)(9)—nor an order granting relief based on the trial court’s determination that an expert report was not a good faith effort to comply with the definition of an expert report—a section 74.351( l ) order made appealable by section 51.014(a)(10)—we lack jurisdiction over this appeal.

As to the surgeon, we conclude that the plaintiff served a report that was found deficient within the meaning of section 74.351(c); therefore, we dismiss the surgeon’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction under section 51.014(a)(9) of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code.

CTSI and Taylor point to no authority—and we have found none—supporting their contention that they could revive their right to an interlocutory appeal by filing a nearly identical second motion to dismiss after the trial court had already ruled against them on their first motion brought in response to the same report.

Appeal after final judgment

Section 51.014(a)(7) permits an interlocutory appeal from the denial of a special appearance but does not require a party to appeal before final judgment.

Section 51.014(a)(7) permits an interlocutory appeal of an order granting or denying a special appearance without requiring that appeal to preserve review after final judgment.

DeWolf v. Kohler · filed 2014-11-18(a)(7)

Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 120a authorizes any party to file a special appearance to object to the trial court’s exercise of jurisdiction over a defendant’s person or property, and Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 51.014(a)(7) provides that a person “may” appeal the interlocutory order granting or denying the special appearance. Neither provision imposes any penalty for the failure to pursue an interlocutory appeal. We therefore conclude that Tammy did not waive her complaint regarding the special- appearance ruling by failing to pursue an interlocutory appeal, and Tammy’s timely appeal from the final judgment gives us appellate jurisdiction to consider the merits of that complaint.

The Legislature authorized health care providers to pursue interlocutory appeals from trial court denials of challenges to plaintiffs' expert reports, but we see no indication that the Legislature effectively mandated interlocutory appeals by providing that if no appeal was taken, then the health care provider waived the right to challenge the report under all circumstances.
