IN RE ALAN ARROW AND SUSAN ARROW __________________________________________________________________

Original Proceeding 284th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 18-10-14163-CV __________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This original proceeding stems from a discovery dispute. Alan Arrow and

Susan Arrow filed a petition for writ of mandamus. In the petition, the Arrows ask

this Court to either (1) order the real parties in interest to produce documents they

withheld during discovery or (2) order the trial court to require the real parties to

demonstrate why they are entitled to assert the privileges they claimed.

Mandamus will issue only to correct a clear abuse of discretion or violation

of a duty imposed by law when that abuse cannot be remedied by appeal. In re

Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004); Walker v. Packer,

1 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992). After reviewing the mandamus record and

petition, we conclude that the relators have not demonstrated an abuse of discretion

occurred that could not be adequately remedied on appeal. Accordingly, we deny the

Arrows’ petition seeking writ of mandamus.

PETITION DENIED.
