Largest BMH creditor files continuance in receivership case
By BARBARA GREEN
One of Bowie Memorial Hospital’s largest creditors has filed an emergency motion for continuance on hearing the receiver’s application for discharge, creating yet another delay in dissolving the hospital authority.
Filed by Community Hospital Consulting on Feb. 10, District Judge Jack McGaughey approved the motion on Feb. 13, granting a continuance until June 5.
CHC during this time can depose Receiver Lynn Heller, serve Bowie Hospital Authority, Bowie Memorial Hospital and Bowie Real Estate Holdings LP with written discovery.
According to the nine-page document, the hospital authority, doing business as Bowie Memorial Hospital, owes CHC, its largest creditor, more than $250,000.
The filing states during this process of dissolution and resolving debt both entities kept CHC “completely in the dark about ongoing proceedings in this case and materially misrepresented that CHC would be paid when clearly they had no such intention.”

The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
