Opinion
COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS
MATTHEW FLOREZ and LEXUS BROWN, § No. 08-19-00302-CR
Appellant, § Appeal from the
v. § 143rd Judicial District Court
PASCUAL Q. OLIBAS, § of Reeves County, Texas
Appellee. § (TC#19-07-23056-CVR)
DISSENTING OPINION
Respectfully, I dissent. Unlike the majority, I would conclude that Rule 202 petitions
seeking pre-suit depositions are not “legal actions” within the scope of the Texas Citizens’
Participation Act. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 202.1 (allowing a petitioner to file a petition to determine
whether a meritorious lawsuit for demonstrable injury exists). Here, I would adopt the analysis of
Houston Tennis Ass’n, Inc. v. Thibodeaux, 602 S.W.3d 712, 719 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.]
2020, no pet.), and the other cases cited within that decision, as I find those cases to be persuasive.
July 26, 2022 GINA M. PALAFOX, Justice.
Before Rodriguez, C.J., Palafox and Alley, JJ.
