                MEMORANDUM OPINION1 AND ORDER

                                    ----------

      We have considered the “Petition for Permission To Appeal Order Denying

Partial Summary Judgment Filed By The USPI/Baylor Defendants,” as well as all

responses, replies, and the trial court’s March 17, 2015 amended order

permitting the USPI/Baylor Defendants’ interlocutory appeal. See Tex. R. App.

28.3(a), (f). We GRANT the petition to the extent that, as indicated in the trial

court’s March 17, 2015 amended order, “the issue of the General Partner’s ability

to consent to the Doctor Defendant’s investment in the BOSHA hospital under

the first sentence of Section 12.1 of the Partnership Agreement presents a

controlling question of law to which there is a substantial ground for

disagreement.” See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(f) (West 2015);

Tex. R. App. P. 28.3(k).
