6/4/2008 - Recent Court of Appeals decision
Doctor Need Not Be Licensed In Texas To Provide Expert Report For Plaintiff Johnson underwent cardiac surgery to replace a defective heart valve. Post-discharge, she suffered a stroke and sued Dr. Springer and others for failing to properly treat and monitor her after the surgery. She timely served an expert report but the defendants moved to dismiss because the expert, although a licensed doctor in three states, was not licensed in Texas. The trial court denied dismissal and the appeals court affirmed. Section 74.403, Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code, requires that an expert be a “physician” and be otherwise qualified to render opinions. Nothing in the statute or legislative history requires that a plaintiff serve an expert report written by a Texas doctor. Springer v. Johnson, No. 07-07-00424-CV, Amarillo, June 4, 2008.
