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.
