In Re Masonite Corp., Abitibi-Price Corp., and Mg Building Materials, Inc., Relators (two Cases)

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court conditionally granted mandamus to compel a trial judge to vacate improper venue transfer orders, holding that the trial court abused its discretion and that the extraordinary circumstances rendered the ordinary appellate remedy inadequate. Justice Baker dissented, arguing that the appellate remedy was adequate and mandamus should not be issued.
