John W. Arndt, Relator v. Hon. Anthony J. P. Farris, Judge, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court possessed jurisdiction to issue an order imposing sanctions for a party's failure to appear for a post‑judgment deposition under Rule 621a, and therefore denied the relator's petition for a writ of mandamus. The Court declined to address the adequacy of the sanctions themselves.
