The hiring manager was let go a few months after I was hired and a salesman was put in the role. The salesman asked me when I started if I was a Christian, among other inappropriate behavior, usually having to do with knowing everyone's business — especially if he thought it was about him.

This is a medical malpractice case in Harris County (Texas). On 6/25/25 the judge signed an order to dismiss a defendant without prejudice. I added the defendant on a related JAMS arbitration case on 7/29/25. No parties appealed the 6/25/25 order, which became final after 21 days, I believe. Instead, the non-suited defendant requested a 2nd hearing for dismissal with prejudice under TCPR 74.351. A different judge signed that order on 7/31/25. How can the judge sign dismissal with prejudice if the defendant wasn’t added back in the court case? Proper venue is arbitration (FAA invoked). I plan to file a writ of mandamus to stay proceedings. I also need to move to vacate the 7/31/25 order—what are the grounds? The defendant was already dismissed, right? The 7/31/25 order says my 6/25/25 nonsuit didn’t preclude the defendant’s argument. Please advise.

To restate the question — I’m wondering about the legality of my boss making me a partner, then the business pulling a $150,000 loan. My boss would take that money (the $150,000), sell me his share of the business for a dollar, and I (as the now sole owner of the company) would assume the debt and pay it back as the company.

Are any of these complaints considered medical malpractice? The defendants’ attorney is trying to get the case dismissed pursuant to TCPR Code 74.351. The court clerk labeled the case as “other” instead of medical malpractice. Also, it is an open homicide investigation with HPD. Do I need to inform the defendants of that? Can I use it as a reason to stay the case? Please advise.
