Description
Relator Alton Wayne Tucker was injured on the property of Dow Chemical Corporation on August 25, 1982, and subsequently filed suit for damages resulting from injuries sustained in the accident. This appeal involves an interpretation of TEX. R. CIV. P. 166b(3)(d). We hold the rule does not prohibit discovery of the documents or communications which were prepared or made prior to the filing of a lawsuit. In conducting discovery, Relator requested all reports or evaluations made by Dow as a result of the accident. Dow objected to the request. Relator then limited his request to reports or evaluations made after the accident but prior to filing suit. Dow refused to comply. Relator filed a Motion to Compel Production which was denied by Respondent, Judge J. Ray Gayle, III. Relator seeks a Writ of Mandamus compelling Respondent to vacate the order denying production and issue an order requiring production of the requested reports or evaluations. We conditionally grant the writ.
