Texas Supreme Court

In Re Michael Wolfe, Relator.

June 10, 201154 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 1139

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court granted the petition for a writ of mandamus, holding that individual citizens cannot obtain pre‑suit discovery under Rule 202 to investigate an anticipated ouster action without the joinder of the proper state official, and that the trial court abused its discretion by ordering the deposition of Trustee Michael Wolfe absent the county attorney’s participation.
