Description
In the underlying litigation, the trial court ordered the University of Texas Health Center at Tyler to produce documents that the Health Center contends are protected from discovery by statutory medical peer review committee privileges created by former section 5.06 of the Medical Practice Act and section 161.032 of the Texas Health and Safety Code. Janus McClain, the plaintiff in the underlying lawsuit, contended that the statutory privilege had been waived. We conclude that there has been no waiver of the exemption from discovery afforded by these statutes. Accordingly, the trial court abused its discretion by ordering production of all documents, and we conditionally grant a writ of mandamus.
