Trial Court No. 10-003351-CV-272
 
 

MEMORANDUM  Opinion

 
            The appellant in each of
these two cases has appealed the respective trial court’s order allowing
Appellee to take their presuit depositions pursuant to Rule of Civil Procedure
202.  Appellants also sought mandamus relief from the trial court orders in
separate but practically identical original proceedings, and today we have
denied mandamus relief in the original proceedings.
            “Presuit deposition orders
are appealable only if sought from someone against whom suit is not
anticipated.”  In re Jorden, 249 S.W.3d 416, 419 (Tex. 2008).  That is,
if the order allows the presuit deposition of a person against whom suit is contemplated,
the order is interlocutory and there is no appellate jurisdiction.  Thomas
v. Fitzgerald, 166 S.W.3d 746, 747-48 (Tex. App.—Waco 2005, no pet.).  
            In the trial courts and in
the original proceedings, Appellee has taken the position that she is investigating
potential claims against not only her employer, but also against the
Appellants.  Because Appellee contemplates or anticipates a possible suit
against Appellants, the trial courts’ orders are interlocutory, and these
appeals are dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
