Opinion

DENY; and Opinion Filed March 6, 2014.

S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00186-CV

IN RE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 160th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-11-13467

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices O'Neill, Lang, and Brown Opinion by Justice Brown

The Court has before it the petition for writ of mandamus filed by the Texas Department

of Family and Protective Services in which relator alleges the trial court abused its discretion by

denying discovery requests with regard to real party’s past and present health care records and

information and in denying relator’s request for an independent mental examination. The facts

and issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. Based on the

record before us, we conclude relator has not shown it is entitled to the relief requested. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992) (orig.

proceeding). Accordingly, the Court DENIES the petition for writ of mandamus.
