Heading: MLIIA Section 10.01

Text: The MLIIA provides: Notwithstanding any other law, no health care liability claim may be commenced unless the action is filed within two years from the occurrence.... TEX.REV.CIV. STAT. art. 4590i, § 10.01. Section 10.01 is the exclusive statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims. See Bala v. Maxwell, 909 S.W.2d 889, 892-93 (Tex.1995). In Bala, the Court concluded that the phrase notwithstanding any other law clearly evinced the Legislature's unequivocal intent that section 10.01 govern when its time limitations conflicts with another law. See Bala, 909 S.W.2d at 892-93.
