Texas Supreme Court

Manuel Garcia, Sr.

July 15, 198730 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 591

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court granted a conditional writ of mandamus directing the trial court to modify its protective order, holding that the blanket order was an abuse of discretion and that attorney work product is not subject to the order, while declining to enjoin enforcement of protective orders from other jurisdictions. Justice Hill dissented, arguing the order was authorized by the Rules and not an abuse of discretion.
