    ISSUES PRESENTED
    Issue 1:   Whether the Appellant preserved the “no report” argument on appeal
    by failing to timely present this issue to the Court, and instead,
    submitted a proposed order granting the 30-day extension, agreed to
    pass the hearing on the merits, and presented this argument nearly a
    year after the Court had ruled.
    Issue 2:   Whether the case law cited by Appellant supports Appellees’
    contention that Appellant failed to preserve the “no report” at all
    argument to the Court.
    iv
    STATEMENT OF FACTS
    On July, 24, 2013, Appellees sued Appellant alleging Appellant’s nursing
    staff negligently caused the death of Rosalinda Battles due to insufficient post-
    surgery monitoring. C.R. 7-8, 17-18. On November 21, 2013, Appellees served
    the expert report and curium vitae from Nurse Erin K. O’Malley (“O’Malley”) on
    Appellant. C.R. 40-48.
    On December 4, 2013, Appellant filed its objections to O’Malley’s expert
    report. C.R. 35-50. In Appellant’s objections, section III titled “[m]otion to
    [d]ismiss or [a]lternatively to [r]equire [p]laintiff [s]erve an [a]mended [r]eport that
    [m]eets Chapter 74 [r]equirements” was submitted. C.R. 37-38. Appellants also
    submitted a proposed order sustaining their objections and granting the 30-day
    extension to cure the deficient report. C.R. 49. Appellees did not file a response to
    Appellant’s objections.
    On January 8, 2014, the Court set Appellants objections for hearing. App. 1.
    Both parties appeared before to the Court to pass the hearing and set a status
    hearing a month later. 
    Id. The same
    day, the Court signed Appellant’s proposed
    order granting the 30-day extension. 
    Id., C.R. 51-52.
    On February 7, 2014, the Appellees served, via facsimile and certified mail
    return receipt requested, Appellant O’Malley’s amended expert report. C.R. 63-66.
    Appellant did not object to the amended expert report after the 21-day period on
    1
    March 12, 2014. C.R. 53-60. The Appellees filed a response to Appellant’s
    objection claiming Appellant waived any and all objections. C.R. 67-71.
    The Court set a hearing on the amended expert report for April 2, 2014.
    App. 1. Both parties appeared and Appellant requested dismissal of the case. R.R.
    II, 5:8-7:2. Appellees’ responded that any and all objections to the amended expert
    report were waived by failing to object within the 21-day period. R.R. II, 7:3-8:18.
    The Court did not rule on Appellant’s second motion to dismiss immediately.
    On December 3, 2014, the Court set a second hearing on the matter upon
    Appellees’ request. App. 1. Appellant, for the first time, argued O’Malley’s first
    expert report was “no report” at all and the case should be dismissed on this basis.
    R.R. III, 8-11.
    The Court denied Appellant’s second motion to dismiss on December 10,
    2014. C.R. 75. This appeal followed contesting the first expert report was “no
    report” at all.1
    1
    Appellant’s Brief does not challenge any issue of the amended report.
    2
    SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT
    This Appellees’ brief questions whether the Appellant preserved the “no
    report” at all argument for review. Appellant did not preserve the “no report”
    argument for review as the Appellant submitted with it’s first motion to dismiss a
    proposed order granting Appellee a 30-day extension, passed the hearing on
    Appellee’s first expert report, and presented this argument nearly a year after the
    Court had already ruled. Thus, Appellant waived their issue for appellate review.
    The cases cited by Appellant further support the need to timely present the
    “no report” at all argument to a trial court before ruling on the merits. Unlike the
    cases cited, Appellant passed its first motion to dismiss hearing and presented the
    issue well after the Court had already ruled. This did not preserve the argument.
    Thus, Appellant, again, waived this issue for appellate review.
    3
    ARGUMENT
    On appeal, a trial court’s decision on a motion to dismiss under section
    74.351 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code is reviewed for abuse of
    discretion. Jernigan v. Langley, 
    195 S.W.3d 91
    , 93 (Tex.2006); Otero v. Leon,
    
    319 S.W.3d 195
    , 199 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2010, pet. denied); see TEX. CIV.
    PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 74.351(b). A trial court abuses its discretion if it acts
    unreasonably or arbitrarily or without reference to any guiding principles. 
    Otero, 319 S.W.3d at 199
    .
    However, for preservation of a complaint on review, a party must have
    presented to the trial court a timely request, objection, or motion that states the
    specific grounds for the desired ruling, if they are not apparent from the context of
    the request, objection, or motion. Tex. R. App. P. 33.1(a). A party that fails to do
    this has not preserved error and the complaint is waived. Bushell v. Dean, 
    803 S.W.2d 711
    , 712 (Tex.1991)(op. on reh’g); Williamson v. New Times, Inc., 
    980 S.W.2d 706
    , 711 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1998, no pet.).
    A.    Whether the Appellant preserved the “no report” argument on appeal
    by failing to timely present this issue to the Court, and instead,
    submitted a proposed order granting the 30-day extension, agreed to
    pass the hearing on the merits, and presented this argument nearly a
    year after the Court had ruled.
    Appellant argues the Court abused its discretion because the first expert
    report was “no report” at all and the case should have been dismissed on this basis.
    4
    However, this issue was not preserved and was not presented until nearly a year
    later after the Court had already ruled.
    Initially, when Appellees filed an expert report, the Appellant timely filed its
    objections and motion to dismiss along with a proposed order sustaining their
    objections and granting a 30-day extension to cure the deficiencies in the expert
    report. C.R. 35-52. Appellant’s own motion requests dismissal or “alternatively”
    amend the expert report to meet the Chapter 74 requirements.                   C.R. 37-38.
    Appellees did not file a response to the motion as it suggested to the Court to
    sustain Appellant’s objections and grant the 30-day extension. Additionally, there
    was no mention of O’Malley’s expert report constituting “no report” at all.
    When the Court set the motion for hearing on the merits on January 8, 2014,
    the Appellant had an opportunity to present the “no report” at all argument to the
    Court. However, both parties appeared and agreed to pass the hearing.2 App. 1.
    As a result of the parties’ agreement, a status hearing was set for a little more than
    30 days and the Court signed the Appellant’s proposed order on January 8, 2014,
    which granted the Appellees a 30-day extension to cure the expert report. App. 1,
    C.R. 51-52.
    It was not until December 3, 2014 that Appellant presented for the first time,
    the “no report” at all argument to the Court. R.R. IV, 8-11. This was nearly a year
    2
    Although the Court notes both attorneys appearing and agreeing to pass the hearing, a
    Reporter’s Record is not available as informed by the Court.
    5
    after the Court had already ruled on the first expert report.
    As a result of the Appellant submitting the proposed order for the 30-day
    extension to cure the expert report, agreeing to pass hearing arguments on their
    motion, and waiting nearly a year later to present the “no report” at all argument,
    Appellant did not timely present the argument before the Court and, thus, did not
    preserve this issue for appeal.
    B.    Whether the case law cited by Appellant supports Appellees’ contention
    that Appellant failed to preserve the “no report” at all argument to the
    Court.
    Next, Appellant claims the Court abused its discretion by citing several
    cases where a trial court was obligated to grant their first motion to dismiss based
    on the “no report” at all argument. However, in each of the cases cited, the
    objecting party timely presented this issue to the trial court before a ruling was
    made. This is not the case here.
    For example, in Scoresby, a group of Physicians timely objected to a letter
    serving as an expert report.       Scoresby v. Santillan, 
    346 S.W.3d 546
    , 551
    (Tex.2011). The Physicians argued before the trial court that the letter was “so
    woefully deficient, it did not even qualify as an expert report under the Act.” 
    Id. Here, the
    trial court was aware of the “no report” at all argument before ruling. 
    Id. Additionally, in
    Velandia, a Physician first motioned to dismiss a Plaintiff’s
    claim on the basis that the expert report was not timely served. Velandia v.
    6
    Contreras, 
    359 S.W.3d 674
    , 675-76 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2011, no
    pet.). The Plaintiff responded that the expert report was timely served. 
    Id. at 676.
    However, before the trial court’s ruling, the Physician replied that the purported
    expert report was “no expert report at all.” 
    Id. The trial
    court was made aware of
    the “no report at all” argument and ruled accordingly. 
    Id. Also, in
    Haskell, some Defendants filed a motion to dismiss for a Plaintiff’s
    failure to timely serve an expert report. Haskell v. Seven Acres Jewish Senior Care
    Services, Inc., 
    363 S.W.3d 754
    , 757 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2012, no
    pet.). The Defendants were unaware that the Plaintiff had served documents to
    them that the Plaintiff contended satisfied a timely expert report. 
    Id. The Plaintiff
    asserted the Defendants missed their 21-day deadline to object and waived any and
    all objections. 
    Id. Before the
    trial court’s ruling, the Defendants countered that the
    purported documents constituted “no expert report at all” and reargued their
    motion to dismiss. 
    Id. Here, the
    trial court was aware of “no report” at all
    argument before ruling for Defendants. 
    Id. Moreover, in
    Gonzalez, a group of defendants challenged the sufficiency of
    the expert report and moved to dismiss a Plaintiff’s case. Laredo Texas Hosp. Co.,
    L.P. v. Gonzalez, 
    363 S.W.3d 255
    , 256-57 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2012, no
    pet.). The Plaintiff filed a response that the expert report was not deficient and
    requested a 30-day extension to cure the deficiency. 
    Id. The trial
    court denied the
    7
    Defendants’ motion to dismiss and granted the extension.         
    Id. Even though
    overturned on appeal, the trial court was aware of the Defendants’ arguments. 
    Id. Likewise, in
    Vasquez, a Defendant moved to dismiss due to a Plaintiff’s
    failure to serve a medical report.     San Antonio Extended Med. Care, Inc. v.
    Vasquez, 
    358 S.W.3d 685
    , 687 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2011, pet. dism'd w.o.j.).
    The Plaintiff moved to strike dismissal, claimed Defendant was not a “health care
    provider,” and, even if “health care provider,” Defendant waived objections by not
    timely filing objecting. 
    Id. The trial
    court determined Defendant was not a “health
    care provider,” the case was appealed, the appellate court determined Defendant
    was a “health care provider,” and the case was remanded. 
    Id. at 687-88.
    On
    remand and before ruling, the Defendant argued Plaintiff’s expert report was “no
    report” at all. 
    Id. at 688.
    While the trial court erroneously ruled in favor of the
    Plaintiff, the argument was presented to the court. 
    Id. Further, in
    Fung, a Defendant argued before a probate court the “no report”
    at all argument. Fung v. Fischer, 
    365 S.W.3d 507
    , 517 (Tex. App.—Austin 2012),
    disapproved of by Certified EMS, Inc. v. Potts, 
    392 S.W.3d 625
    (Tex. 2013).
    Unlike the other co-defendants, the probate court rendered judgment on the merits
    of the Defendant’s objections for failure to comply with the statutory requirements.
    
    Id. at 528.
      Similarly, the probate court was aware of the “no report” at all
    argument and preserved the issue for appellate review. 
    Id. 8 In
    all Appellant’s cases cited, the objecting party timely brought before the
    trial courts the “no report” at all argument.      The trial court, at minimum,
    considered this argument before issuing a ruling. Thus, preserving this issue for
    review by the appellate courts.
    However, in this appeal, the Appellant did not present the “no report” at all
    argument before the Court issued the 30-day extension. Instead, the Appellant
    agreed to pass the hearing on the merits and the Court signed Appellant’s proposed
    order for granting the extension. Appellant had an opportunity to timely present
    this argument before the Court ruled, but did not. Thus, the argument was not
    preserved for appeal.
    Therefore, from the cases cited where the “no report” at all argument was
    properly presented to the trial court before ruling, preserving the argument, and
    Appellant untimely presenting the argument after the Court ruled, Appellant did
    not preserve the issue for review.
    C.    Conclusion
    As a result of Appellant submitting the proposed order granting the 30-day
    extension, passing the hearing on the merits, and presenting the “no report” at all
    argument nearly a year after the Court had already ruled, Appellant did not timely
    present this objection to the Court and did not preserve this issue for appeal.
    Additionally, the case law submitted by Appellant supports that the argument
    9
    needs to be presented to a trial court before that trial court’s ruling. Appellant did
    not present the “no report” at all argument to the Court until a year after the Court
    had already made its ruling, thus, waiving the “no report” at all argument to
    Appellees’ first expert report.
    PRAYER
    For the foregoing reasons discussed above, Appellees, Rosalinda Battles et
    al., pray this Court render judgment in favor of Appellees, and for all other relief to
    which Appellees are entitled.
