Scott & White Memorial Hospital v. Schexnider

In Scott & White Memorial Hospital v. Schexnider, 940 S.W.2d 594 (Tex. 1996) the Court were asked whether a trial court had authority to render sanctions following a nonsuit but within the period of plenary jurisdiction. The Court held that the trial court's plenary power included the authority to act on a motion for sanctions. But because the sanctions order was signed within thirty days of the judgment, we did not consider whether the postjudgment motion for sanctions might also extend the court's plenary jurisdiction under Rule 329b(g).
