Price v. Estate of Anderson

WALKER, Justice.

This is a suit to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by Darlene Price, petitioner, while riding as a passenger in an automobile driven by Welton Terry Anderson, who died several months after the accident. The original petition named “The Estate of Welton Terry Anderson” as defendant, and citation was served on the temporary administrator of the estate. We hold that this interrupted the running of the statute of limitations and that the claim was not barred when petitioner subsequently amended to name the temporary administrator as a defendant.
