Original Proceeding
284th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 18-10-14163-CV
__________________________________________________________________
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This original proceeding stems from a discovery dispute. Alan Arrow and
Susan Arrow filed a petition for writ of mandamus. In the petition, the Arrows ask
this Court to either (1) order the real parties in interest to produce documents they
withheld during discovery or (2) order the trial court to require the real parties to
demonstrate why they are entitled to assert the privileges they claimed.
Mandamus will issue only to correct a clear abuse of discretion or violation
of a duty imposed by law when that abuse cannot be remedied by appeal. In re
Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004); Walker v. Packer,
1
827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992). After reviewing the mandamus record and
petition, we conclude that the relators have not demonstrated an abuse of discretion
occurred that could not be adequately remedied on appeal. Accordingly, we deny the
Arrows’ petition seeking writ of mandamus.
PETITION DENIED.
