“3. Exemptions. The following matters are protected from disclosure by privilege: c. The witness statements of potential witnesses and parties, when made subsequent to the occurrence or transaction upon which the suit is based and in connection with the prosecution, investigation, or defense of the particular suit, or in anticipation of the prosecution or defense of the claims made a part of the pending litigation, except that persons, whether parties or not, shall be entitled to obtain, upon request, copies of statements they have previously made concerning the action or its subject matter and which are in the possession, custody, or control of any party.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The term “discovery” suggests the existence of the information being sought. The various rules governing the discovery process in Texas show that the process is intended for the gathering of relevant information within the control or knowledge of others. There is nothing in the rules that suggests that the “discovery” process is intended to provide for the “creation” of new evidence for the purpose of trial presentation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“1. an eye examination is relevant to issues that are genuinely in controversy in the case; 2. there is a reasonable nexus between the condition in controversy and the examination sought; 3. it is not possible to obtain the information sought through some other, less intrusive, means.”
