Description
Twice in the last ten years the Supreme Court of Texas has granted the extraordinary writ of mandamus in circumstances just like those here. Both times, the Court intervened in asbestos litigation when the trial court compelled discovery relating to products the plaintiffs never used for time periods they were not employed. See In re American Optical Corp., 988 S.W.2d 711, 713 (Tex. 1998); Texaco, Inc. v. Sanderson, 898 S.W.2d 813, 815 (Tex. 1995). In this asbestos discovery dispute, the trial court compelled discovery relating to products the plaintiff never said he used for a time period beginning 15 years before he was born. Rather than invite the Supreme Court to answer this question a third time, we grant relators petition for mandamus.
