The Supreme Court of Texas (“Texas Supreme Court”) stated in its opinion filed on February 25, 2022: “we examine the scope of discovery that the Texas Medical Liability Act permits before the plaintiff serves the expert report that the Act requires. The court of appeals granted mandamus relief, requiring the trial court to order the facility to produce these policies before the plaintiff had served the facility with an expert report. Because facility’s general policies and procedures fall outside the narrow scope of pre-report discovery permitted in medical-liability cases, we grant relief.
