Opinion

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-12-00052-CV IN RE COLLEEN MYERS

Original Proceeding

MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator, Colleen Myers, is the defendant in a personal injury suit brought by Britt and Christina Knighton, plaintiffs. Myers seeks the medical records which are related to routine mental anguish damages and medical expenses related thereto which the Knightons allege were caused by the automobile collision between Myers and Britt.

The Knightons have resisted discovery based upon the “Confidentiality of Mental Health Information in Civil Cases” privilege. TEX. R. EVID. 510. Myers asserts that the litigation claim exception applies. Id. 510(d)(5).

We deny the petition. In re Williams, No. 10-08-00364-CV, 2009 Tex. App. LEXIS 1561 (Tex. App.—Waco March 4, 2009, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.).
