Good Shepherd Medical Center, Inc. v. State

The court affirmed the district court's judgment that appellant failed to demonstrate its standing. However, because this ruling deprived the district court of subject-matter jurisdiction to reach the merits of the claims, the court must modify the district court's judgment to delete the portions adjudicating those issues and instead dismiss the claims for want of subject-matter jurisdiction. Austin Court of Appeals, No. 03-06-00448-CV, 02-18-2010

OPINION

Good Shepherd Medical Center, Inc. (Good Shepherd) appeals a district court judgment dismissing, for lack of standing, its declaratory claims challenging the constitutionality of two statutes. The judgment also addressed the merits–it held that Good Shepherd take nothing on its claims and granted two intervenors affirmative declarations that the statutes were constitutional. In three issues, Good Shepherd contends that the district court erred in holding that it lacked standing, in proceeding to reach the merits after holding that Good Shepherd lacked standing, and in rejecting Good Shepherd’s constitutional challenges and declaring the statutes to be constitutional. We will affirm the district court’s judgment that Good Shepherd failed to demonstrate its standing. However, because we conclude this ruling deprived the district court of subject-matter jurisdiction to reach the merits of either Good Shepherd’s or the intervenors’ claims, we must modify the district court’s judgment to delete the portions adjudicating those issues and instead dismiss the claims for want of subject-matter jurisdiction.
