Contact One Of Our Attorneys About Your Medical Malpractice Claim Although we recognize that the supreme court has explained that appellate courts may review under subsection 51.014(a)(8) a ruling by a trial court pertaining to jurisdictional challenges made by a governmental unit even if the document containing the jurisdictional challenges was not styled as a plea to the jurisdiction, we do not believe that there has been a ruling on the jurisdictional grounds asserted. See Thomas v. Long, 207 S.W.3d 334, 339-40 (Tex.2006) (determining that appellate court had jurisdiction over jurisdictional claims that were made in governmental unit's motion for summary judgment when trial court implicitly denied jurisdictional challenges by reaching merits of opposing party's claims that governmental unit alleged trial court did not have jurisdiction over); see also Surgitek, Bristol-Myers Corp. v. Abel, 997 S.W.2d 598, 601 (Tex.1999) (explaining that determinations regarding whether claims may be pursued in interlocutory appeal are not constrained by the form or caption of a pleading and instead should focus on merits of relief sought). As set out above, the district court did not enter an order dismissing the Dental Groups' third-party claims on jurisdictional grounds; on the contrary, when making its ruling on the third-party claims, the district court explained that it was granting the State's Motion to Dismiss Third Party Claims and dismissing the claims on the non-jurisdictional grounds urged by the State. In particular, the district court determined that the Act and other relevant statutes allow the State to bring these types of actions against defendants to the exclusion of other parties. 13 Moreover, this case does not present a situation like that in Thomas where a trial court made an implicit ruling on the jurisdictional arguments; on the contrary, the district court in this case made no determinations regarding the merits of the third-party claims and instead dismissed them. See Thomas, 207 S.W.3d at 339; cf. Waller Cty. v. City of Hempstead, 453 S.W.3d 73, 76 (.-Houston 1st Dist. 2014, pet. denied) (determining that appellate court lacked jurisdiction over � purported interlocutory appeal and dismissing appeal for want of jurisdiction because the trial court did not rule on the plea to jurisdiction (either expressly or implicitly through its denial of Waller County's motion for summary judgment)).

Mr. T, who is now promoting long distance telephone service in television commercials featuring the puppet ALF, former pro-wrestler Hulk Hogan and former Pittsburgh Steeler Terry Bradshaw among others, claims Best Buy's November, 2002 ad campaign made him "look like a fool."

In addition, Mike had been able to pay off the $650,000 loan for the purchase of the business and put $700,000 into an account for future use by the business. (App. 513.) Mike's average income for 2004 through 2008 is $511,831 per year or $42,653 per month. His average net profits are $390,964 per year or $32,580 per month. Mike's total average wages and net income per year since 2004 is $902,795 per year or $75,233 per month. With benefits, he makes more than $80,000 per month.

Westover Alabama � 14 Cannon, like the situation here, involved a state employee's suit against an HMO for bad faith. Both the HMO in Cannon and the insurer here contracted with the state to provide medical care to state employees and their dependents. The issue in Cannon was whether the HMO was an insurance company within the meaning of the Uniform Arbitration Act, 15S. � 801 et seq. In Cannon, we discussed the similarities between HMOs and health insurance organizations finding that the contract between the employer, the State of Oklahoma and the HMO was a contract with reference to insurance. Determining that the HMO qualified as an insurance company under the Act, the Court held that the insurance contract was expressly excluded from the statutory provisions and invalidated the portion of the subscriber agreement purporting to bind the HMO member to compulsory arbitration.

17. A defining case for Ken was a personal injury matter in which he defended Senator B. Everett Jordan's granddaughter against a Canadian newspaper owner and Ocracoke businessman. The plaintiff represented himself. The plaintiff had been on his way to work when Ken's client rear-ended him, resulting in a broken shoulder. The plaintiff was airlifted to the hospital in Elizabeth City. During the course of discovery, the plaintiff disclosed a medical opinion that he had sustained 5 percent disability to his shoulder because he no longer had full range of motion. When the doctor who rendered the opinion testified at the trial, United States District Court Judge Earl Britt stopped the trial and said he knew Ken was going to cross-examine the doctor on the fact that he had never met the plaintiff before and had based his 5 percent opinion on only the medical records. So Judge Britt recessed the trial to allow the doctor to conduct a medical examination in the Judge's chambers. The doctor later returned to the stand with an opinion that the plaintiff's disability had increased from 5 percent to 20 percent on the basis that the plaintiff not only could no longer lift his shoulder, but also could not lift his arm over his head. On cross-examination, the plaintiff asserted that in Canada, physical therapists are full-fledged doctors who put him in traction when he was in the hospital. Ken explains, "I kept playing Colombo, saying that I didn't know what that meant, could he please describe it for me. After several reiterations, he started describing the traction as being overhead in the bed and you had to reach up and finally he reached way up with both arms high above his shoulders. Judge Britt turned beet red and several of the jurors laughed out loud." Ken says, "I like the unexpected. You know, the preparation for trial is rigorous. I think I always over-prepared, but when you actually get in the courtroom, once that moment passes, if you did not object and then the next question is asked, it's too late. Time is marching on, so you've got to focus like a laser and be on your toes and do it in that moment or else it's too late." Civic involvement is important and rewarding to him. Ken has enjoyed a long association with the Civitans, having served as District Governor, spearheading a strategic plan that stemmed the tide of declining membership. He also is a former board member of the Salvation Army and continues to support the organization. Professional and community-related accomplishments aside, Ken considers his highest achievement to be his family. He and Jane have three children and four grandchildren, with a fifth due in July. Church also has played a significant role in Ken's life. A member of Temple Baptist Church since 2000, Ken served on the long-range planning team that located the property and oversaw the design and construction of the present facility. He has also served as a past deacon. What is a totally unexpected thing about this eastern North Carolina legal eagle and family man who admittedly isn't full of surprises? He's a vegan! That's right. No dairy. No meat. No eggs. His wife would want him to credit Dr. Joel Fuhrman, a specialist in nutritional medicine and best-selling author who coined the term "nutritarian" rather than "vegan" to describe his recommended diet of micronutrient rich foods. But the diet IS vegan, insists Ken, because of the lack of dairy and meat. "Jane started me on it as soon as I got out of the hospital in 2011 after a near death experience from septic shock. Since she saved my life by yelling at the hospital staff to do something to help me after I lost consciousness, I felt I better do what she said about the diet. I also plan to run in the 'Step On Sepsis' 5K road race in honor of Jane saving my life and to help raise awareness of sepsis among medical professionals and lay people." One gets the impression that this born-and-bred Southern gentleman wouldn't mind sneaking the occasional ham biscuit or barbecue sandwich, but if anyone can argue the case for living healthy and enjoying life, Ken Wooten can.

Consequently, with this decision, our Court endorsed the principle that merely because a cause of action between two parties to a contract is based on the actions of the defendant undertaken while performing his contractual duties, this fact, alone, does not automatically characterize the action as one for breach of contract. To the contrary, Zell established that the nature of the duty breached, as alleged in the plaintiff's pleadings, is determinative of the gist of the action; hence, actions arising directly from an alleged breach of a contractual duty were to be regarded as being in contract; whereas, those actions based on an alleged breach of a contracting party's separate collateral duty to perform a contractual obligation with skill and diligence were to be considered as being in tort.
