IN RE DONNA R. SMITH

________________________________________________________________________

Original Proceeding 284th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 14-04-03822 CV ________________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

In her petition for a writ of mandamus, Donna R. Smith asks that the Court

compel the judge of the 284th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas to

grant Smith’s motion to compel production of documents that she served on the

real party in interest, The AIM Group, Inc. “The trial court has the discretion to

deny a request if it is an overly broad discovery request that it determines could

have been more narrowly tailored to include only relevant matters or should have

been limited in time and scope.” In re Indeco Sales, Inc. No. 09-14-00405-CV,

2014 WL 5490943, at *1 (Tex. App.—Beaumont Oct. 30, 2014, orig. proceeding)

1 (mem. op.). After reviewing the mandamus petition and record, we conclude that

Relator has not shown that the trial court abused its discretion. We deny the

petition for a writ of mandamus.

PETITION DENIED.
