Tom L. Scott, Inc., Relators v. the Honorable Grainger W. McIlhany, Judge, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court granted mandamus, holding that the trial court erred in allowing the redesignation of six testifying experts as consulting‑only to avoid discovery. The court found the redesignation violates the purpose of discovery and ordered the trial court to permit depositions of the experts. The Court also rejected the argument that delay barred mandamus relief.
