In Re General Agents Insurance Company of America

In its petition for writ of mandamus, relator, General Agents Insurance Company of America, Inc. ("Gainsco"), requests that we direct respondent, the Honorable Elizabeth Ray, presiding judge of the 165th District Court, to vacate and set aside her order compelling production of Gainscos insurance claims file related to a lawsuit against Traxel Construction, Inc., one of Gainscos insureds. Specifically, Gainsco contends that the trial court erred in (1) ordering production of documents relating to the underlying action against Traxel, (2) ordering production of documents relating to the current coverage suit against Gainsco, and (3) refusing to permit redaction of reserves information from produced documents. Granting relief in part, we conditionally grant the petition for writ of mandamus.
