Dillard Department Stores, Inc., Mr. K.d. Skelton and Mr. Donald Golding, Relators v. the Honorable Richard Hall…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court granted a writ of mandamus, vacating the district court's order that compelled Dillard Department Stores to produce overly broad documents related to false arrest claims. The Court held that such a twenty‑state, five‑year document request exceeds the proper scope of discovery and constitutes an abuse of discretion.
