OPINION
SCOTT BRISTER, Chief Justice.
Robinetta Wilkins sued Methodist Health Care System (“the System”), owner of Methodist Hospital (“the Hospital”) in Houston, alleging personal injuries caused by the temporary loss of a surgical instrument in her abdomen during her gall bladder surgery. One year after the case was filed and long after limitations had expired, the System objected that it was not the proper defendant but the Hospital was. Wilkins amended her petition to name both, and sent it by mail to the System’s attorney of record. She did not request any new citation.
