Steven Douglas Pedro, M.D. § From the 141st District Court
§ of Tarrant County (141-282808-15)
v.
§ September 28, 2017
Sherrie R. Lake § Opinion by Justice Sudderth
JUDGMENT
This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that
there was error in the trial court’s order. We reverse the order denying Appellant
Steven Douglas Pedro, M.D.’s motion to dismiss, and we render judgment
dismissing the health care liability claim with prejudice. We remand the case to
the trial court for it to assess the statutory award to Dr. Pedro of his reasonable
attorney’s fees and the court costs that he incurred.
It is further ordered that Appellee Sherrie R. Lake shall pay all of the costs
of this appeal, for which let execution issue.
