“While we believe, as a general rule, discovery is appropriate prior to the pretrial hearing at which the petitioner must prove his prima facie case for bill of review. However, we do not believe that the general rule encompasses serology testing to determine paternity until after the prima facie case has been established. The serological testing would not in any manner aid relator in establishing the elements necessary to show the prima facie grounds of fraud, accident, wrongful act of opposing party, or official mistake.”
