Charles F. Walker and Mary Jeanette Walker, Relators v. the Honorable Anne Packer, Judge, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court denied the relators' petition for a writ of mandamus, holding that they failed to show a clear abuse of discretion in the trial court's denial of discovery from St. Paul Hospital and that they have an adequate remedy by appeal for the obstetrics faculty records dispute. The Court also reaffirmed that mandamus will not be issued where the ordinary appellate process is sufficient.
