Issue 1:   Whether the Appellant preserved the “no report” argument on appeal

           by failing to timely present this issue to the Court, and instead,

           submitted a proposed order granting the 30-day extension, agreed to

           pass the hearing on the merits, and presented this argument nearly a

           year after the Court had ruled.

           argument to the Court.

                             STATEMENT OF FACTS

      On July, 24, 2013, Appellees sued Appellant alleging Appellant’s nursing

staff negligently caused the death of Rosalinda Battles due to insufficient post-

surgery monitoring. C.R. 7-8, 17-18. On November 21, 2013, Appellees served

the expert report and curium vitae from Nurse Erin K. O’Malley (“O’Malley”) on

Appellant. C.R. 40-48.

      On December 4, 2013, Appellant filed its objections to O’Malley’s expert

report. C.R. 35-50. In Appellant’s objections, section III titled “[m]otion to

[d]ismiss or [a]lternatively to [r]equire [p]laintiff [s]erve an [a]mended [r]eport that

[m]eets Chapter 74 [r]equirements” was submitted. C.R. 37-38. Appellants also

submitted a proposed order sustaining their objections and granting the 30-day

extension to cure the deficient report. C.R. 49. Appellees did not file a response to

Appellant’s objections.

      On January 8, 2014, the Court set Appellants objections for hearing. App. 1.

Both parties appeared before to the Court to pass the hearing and set a status

hearing a month later. Id.     The same day, the Court signed Appellant’s proposed

order granting the 30-day extension. Id., C.R. 51-52.

      On February 7, 2014, the Appellees served, via facsimile and certified mail

return receipt requested, Appellant O’Malley’s amended expert report. C.R. 63-66.

Appellant did not object to the amended expert report after the 21-day period on

                                           1
March 12, 2014. C.R. 53-60. The Appellees filed a response to Appellant’s

objection claiming Appellant waived any and all objections. C.R. 67-71.

       The Court set a hearing on the amended expert report for April 2, 2014.

App. 1. Both parties appeared and Appellant requested dismissal of the case. R.R.

II, 5:8-7:2. Appellees’ responded that any and all objections to the amended expert

report were waived by failing to object within the 21-day period. R.R. II, 7:3-8:18.

The Court did not rule on Appellant’s second motion to dismiss immediately.

       On December 3, 2014, the Court set a second hearing on the matter upon

Appellees’ request. App. 1. Appellant, for the first time, argued O’Malley’s first

expert report was “no report” at all and the case should be dismissed on this basis.

R.R. III, 8-11.

       The Court denied Appellant’s second motion to dismiss on December 10,

2014. C.R. 75. This appeal followed contesting the first expert report was “no

report” at all.1

       1
           Appellant’s Brief does not challenge any issue of the amended report.
                                                 2
                      SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT

      This Appellees’ brief questions whether the Appellant preserved the “no

report” at all argument for review. Appellant did not preserve the “no report”

argument for review as the Appellant submitted with it’s first motion to dismiss a

proposed order granting Appellee a 30-day extension, passed the hearing on

Appellee’s first expert report, and presented this argument nearly a year after the

Court had already ruled. Thus, Appellant waived their issue for appellate review.

      The cases cited by Appellant further support the need to timely present the

“no report” at all argument to a trial court before ruling on the merits. Unlike the

cases cited, Appellant passed its first motion to dismiss hearing and presented the

issue well after the Court had already ruled. This did not preserve the argument.

Thus, Appellant, again, waived this issue for appellate review.

                                         3
                                  ARGUMENT

      On appeal, a trial court’s decision on a motion to dismiss under section

74.351 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code is reviewed for abuse of

discretion. Jernigan v. Langley, 195 S.W.3d 91, 93 (Tex.2006); Otero v. Leon,

319 S.W.3d 195, 199 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2010, pet. denied); see TEX. CIV.

PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 74.351(b). A trial court abuses its discretion if it acts

unreasonably or arbitrarily or without reference to any guiding principles. Otero,
319 S.W.3d at 199.

      However, for preservation of a complaint on review, a party must have

presented to the trial court a timely request, objection, or motion that states the

specific grounds for the desired ruling, if they are not apparent from the context of

the request, objection, or motion. Tex. R. App. P. 33.1(a). A party that fails to do

this has not preserved error and the complaint is waived. Bushell v. Dean, 803
S.W.2d 711, 712 (Tex.1991)(op. on reh’g); Williamson v. New Times, Inc., 980
S.W.2d 706, 711 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1998, no pet.).

A.    Whether the Appellant preserved the “no report” argument on appeal
      by failing to timely present this issue to the Court, and instead,
      submitted a proposed order granting the 30-day extension, agreed to
      pass the hearing on the merits, and presented this argument nearly a
      year after the Court had ruled.

      Appellant argues the Court abused its discretion because the first expert

report was “no report” at all and the case should have been dismissed on this basis.

                                         4
However, this issue was not preserved and was not presented until nearly a year

later after the Court had already ruled.

       Initially, when Appellees filed an expert report, the Appellant timely filed its

objections and motion to dismiss along with a proposed order sustaining their

objections and granting a 30-day extension to cure the deficiencies in the expert

report. C.R. 35-52. Appellant’s own motion requests dismissal or “alternatively”

amend the expert report to meet the Chapter 74 requirements.                   C.R. 37-38.

Appellees did not file a response to the motion as it suggested to the Court to

sustain Appellant’s objections and grant the 30-day extension. Additionally, there

was no mention of O’Malley’s expert report constituting “no report” at all.

       When the Court set the motion for hearing on the merits on January 8, 2014,

the Appellant had an opportunity to present the “no report” at all argument to the

Court. However, both parties appeared and agreed to pass the hearing.2 App. 1.

As a result of the parties’ agreement, a status hearing was set for a little more than

30 days and the Court signed the Appellant’s proposed order on January 8, 2014,

which granted the Appellees a 30-day extension to cure the expert report. App. 1,

C.R. 51-52.

       It was not until December 3, 2014 that Appellant presented for the first time,

the “no report” at all argument to the Court. R.R. IV, 8-11. This was nearly a year

       2
        Although the Court notes both attorneys appearing and agreeing to pass the hearing, a
Reporter’s Record is not available as informed by the Court.
                                             5
after the Court had already ruled on the first expert report.

      As a result of the Appellant submitting the proposed order for the 30-day

extension to cure the expert report, agreeing to pass hearing arguments on their

motion, and waiting nearly a year later to present the “no report” at all argument,

Appellant did not timely present the argument before the Court and, thus, did not

preserve this issue for appeal.

B.    Whether the case law cited by Appellant supports Appellees’ contention
      that Appellant failed to preserve the “no report” at all argument to the
      Court.

      Next, Appellant claims the Court abused its discretion by citing several

cases where a trial court was obligated to grant their first motion to dismiss based

on the “no report” at all argument. However, in each of the cases cited, the

objecting party timely presented this issue to the trial court before a ruling was

made. This is not the case here.

      For example, in Scoresby, a group of Physicians timely objected to a letter

serving as an expert report.       Scoresby v. Santillan, 346 S.W.3d 546, 551

(Tex.2011). The Physicians argued before the trial court that the letter was “so

woefully deficient, it did not even qualify as an expert report under the Act.” Id.

Here, the trial court was aware of the “no report” at all argument before ruling. Id.

      Additionally, in Velandia, a Physician first motioned to dismiss a Plaintiff’s

claim on the basis that the expert report was not timely served. Velandia v.

                                           6
Contreras, 359 S.W.3d 674, 675-76 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2011, no

pet.). The Plaintiff responded that the expert report was timely served. Id. at 676.

However, before the trial court’s ruling, the Physician replied that the purported

expert report was “no expert report at all.” Id. The trial court was made aware of

the “no report at all” argument and ruled accordingly. Id.

      Also, in Haskell, some Defendants filed a motion to dismiss for a Plaintiff’s

failure to timely serve an expert report. Haskell v. Seven Acres Jewish Senior Care

Services, Inc., 363 S.W.3d 754, 757 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2012, no

pet.). The Defendants were unaware that the Plaintiff had served documents to

them that the Plaintiff contended satisfied a timely expert report. Id. The Plaintiff

asserted the Defendants missed their 21-day deadline to object and waived any and

all objections. Id. Before the trial court’s ruling, the Defendants countered that the

purported documents constituted “no expert report at all” and reargued their

motion to dismiss. Id. Here, the trial court was aware of “no report” at all

argument before ruling for Defendants. Id.

      Moreover, in Gonzalez, a group of defendants challenged the sufficiency of

the expert report and moved to dismiss a Plaintiff’s case. Laredo Texas Hosp. Co.,

L.P. v. Gonzalez, 363 S.W.3d 255, 256-57 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2012, no

pet.). The Plaintiff filed a response that the expert report was not deficient and

requested a 30-day extension to cure the deficiency. Id. The trial court denied the

                                          7
Defendants’ motion to dismiss and granted the extension.         Id.   Even though

overturned on appeal, the trial court was aware of the Defendants’ arguments. Id.

      Likewise, in Vasquez, a Defendant moved to dismiss due to a Plaintiff’s

failure to serve a medical report.     San Antonio Extended Med. Care, Inc. v.

Vasquez, 358 S.W.3d 685, 687 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2011, pet. dism'd w.o.j.).

The Plaintiff moved to strike dismissal, claimed Defendant was not a “health care

provider,” and, even if “health care provider,” Defendant waived objections by not

timely filing objecting. Id. The trial court determined Defendant was not a “health

care provider,” the case was appealed, the appellate court determined Defendant

was a “health care provider,” and the case was remanded. Id. at 687-88. On

remand and before ruling, the Defendant argued Plaintiff’s expert report was “no

report” at all. Id. at 688. While the trial court erroneously ruled in favor of the

Plaintiff, the argument was presented to the court. Id.

      Further, in Fung, a Defendant argued before a probate court the “no report”

at all argument. Fung v. Fischer, 365 S.W.3d 507, 517 (Tex. App.—Austin 2012),

disapproved of by Certified EMS, Inc. v. Potts, 392 S.W.3d 625 (Tex. 2013).

Unlike the other co-defendants, the probate court rendered judgment on the merits

of the Defendant’s objections for failure to comply with the statutory requirements.

Id. at 528.   Similarly, the probate court was aware of the “no report” at all

argument and preserved the issue for appellate review. Id.

                                          8
      In all Appellant’s cases cited, the objecting party timely brought before the

trial courts the “no report” at all argument.      The trial court, at minimum,

considered this argument before issuing a ruling. Thus, preserving this issue for

review by the appellate courts.

      However, in this appeal, the Appellant did not present the “no report” at all

argument before the Court issued the 30-day extension. Instead, the Appellant

agreed to pass the hearing on the merits and the Court signed Appellant’s proposed

order for granting the extension. Appellant had an opportunity to timely present

this argument before the Court ruled, but did not. Thus, the argument was not

preserved for appeal.

      Therefore, from the cases cited where the “no report” at all argument was

properly presented to the trial court before ruling, preserving the argument, and

Appellant untimely presenting the argument after the Court ruled, Appellant did

not preserve the issue for review.

C.    Conclusion

      As a result of Appellant submitting the proposed order granting the 30-day

extension, passing the hearing on the merits, and presenting the “no report” at all

argument nearly a year after the Court had already ruled, Appellant did not timely

present this objection to the Court and did not preserve this issue for appeal.

Additionally, the case law submitted by Appellant supports that the argument

                                        9
needs to be presented to a trial court before that trial court’s ruling. Appellant did

not present the “no report” at all argument to the Court until a year after the Court

had already made its ruling, thus, waiving the “no report” at all argument to

Appellees’ first expert report.

                                      PRAYER

      For the foregoing reasons discussed above, Appellees, Rosalinda Battles et

al., pray this Court render judgment in favor of Appellees, and for all other relief to

which Appellees are entitled.
