Original Proceeding 279th District Court of Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. F-219,234-B __________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Amanda Barlow Henckel filed a petition for a writ of mandamus and a motion

for temporary relief from an order requiring a third party to produce health care

records for in camera inspection in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. At

this time, the trial court has only ordered production to the trial court for in camera

inspection so that the trial court can determine whether any of the records are

relevant to the disputed issues in the case, not otherwise protected under applicable

law, and should be produced to the opposing party. Relator has not shown that the

trial court abused its discretion by ordering the records to be produced for in camera

inspection. See In re Adams, No. 09-06-416-CV, 2006 WL 2789081, at *2 (Tex.

1 App.—Beaumont Sept. 26, 2006, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.). We deny the petition

for a writ of mandamus and the motion for temporary relief without prejudice in the

event the trial court orders production or disclosure of records to the opposing party.

See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

PETITION DENIED.
