WILSON, M.D. AND OB/GYN SPECIALISTS, LLC APPELLEES ---------FROM THE 442ND DISTRICT COURT OF DENTON COUNTY TRIAL COURT NO. 14-07055-431 ---------- MEMORANDUM OPINION1 ---------We have considered the petition for permissive interlocutory appeal by Appellant A.R., individually and as natural parent, next friend, and legal guardian 1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. of A.R., minor.2 See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(d), (f) (West Supp. 2016); Tex. R. App. P. 28.3(a), (f), (j). In the petition, Appellant asks us to determine whether civil practice and remedies code section 74.153 applies to medical care provided in an obstetrical unit when the patient was never evaluated or treated in a hospital emergency department. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 74.153 (West 2011). In light of this court’s disposition of the same issue in D.A. v. Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Denton, No. 02-16-00148-CV, 2017 WL 632907 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Feb. 16, 2017, no pet. h.), in which we concluded that civil practice and remedies code section 74.153 does not apply to such medical care, we deny Appellant’s petition for permissive appeal. /s/ Bonnie Sudderth BONNIE SUDDERTH JUSTICE PANEL: MEIER, GABRIEL, and SUDDERTH, JJ.
