The Dow Chemical Company, Relator v. the Honorable Ricardo H. Garcia, Judge, Respondent; the Dow Chemical Company…
November 2, 199539 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 83
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court dismissed Dow Chemical's petitions for mandamus as moot because the claims against Dow Corning will be resolved in federal court and therefore cannot be rejoined in state court, leaving the Court without power to grant the requested relief. The Court vacated its prior stay and dismissed the original proceedings. Justice BAKER, dissenting, argued the Court should abate the cases and await remand to state court.
