Stanley Jampole, Relator v. Hon. Hugo Touchy, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court granted a writ of mandamus, vacating the trial court's order that denied the relator discovery of alternate fuel‑system design documents and assembly diagrams, and directed the trial court to issue an order consistent with this opinion; the Court held that no adequate remedy by appeal existed for those denials, while declining to mandamus the remaining discovery requests. Justice Barrow dissented, arguing that the trial court's discretion should not be overridden.
