Description
Turbodyne Corporation, et al. filed this original mandamus action in this court to order Judge Wyatt Heard of the 190th District court of Harris County to rescind his order denying discovery of 39 documents from Travelers Insurance Company. The Fourteenth Court of Appeals in Harris County denied mandamus relief in Turbodyne Corp. v. Heard, 698 S.W.2d 703 (Tex. App. - Houston [14th] 1985, orig. proceeding). Travelers contends that these documents are privileged under TEX. R. CIV. P. 166b. We hold that the trial court abused its discretion in denying discovery, and conditionally grant the writ. On November 1, 1979, a fire and explosion occurred at Texas City Refining Inc. Turbodyne was the manufacturer of a part of a catalytic cracking unit involved in that fire. Texas City's casualty insurer, Travelers Insurance Company, initiated an investigation into the causes and damages of the accident. Approximately nine months after the accident, on July 30, 1980, Travelers and Texas City reached a settlement on the coverage. On October 30, 1981, Travelers and Texas City filed a subrogation suit against Turbodyne and other manufacturers in the 190th District Court of Harris County. Turbodyne filed a motion to compel production of 39 documents prepared by employees of Travelers or experts employed by Travelers. Travelers asserts that all documents but one were prepared prior to the date Travelers settled with Texas City, July 30, 1980.
