Texas Supreme Court

In Re State Farm Lloyds, Relator

May 26, 201760 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 1114

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court denied the petition for mandamus, holding that neither party has a unilateral right to dictate the form of electronic discovery and that trial courts must balance proportionality factors under Rule 192.4 when ordering production in native form. The Court provided guidance on applying those factors and left the relator free to re‑assert objections in the trial court.
