A change in the law the Texas Legislature enacted as part of 2003′s sweeping tort reforms allows a plaintiff to revive otherwise time-barred claims against a defendant previously designated as a responsible third party, the 4th Court of Appeals has held.
On May 27, a three-justice panel of San Antonio’s 4th Court reversed summary judgments the trial court had granted two firms and four attorneys, based on their arguments that the two-year statute of limitations barred Lawrence T. Flack’s claims against them in a negligence and breach of fiduciary duty suit.
