Vs. No. 11-22-00323-CV                         * March 2, 2023

Kayci Hinkson,                                 * Opinion by Williams, J.
                                                 (Panel consists of: Bailey, C.J.,
                                                 Trotter, J., and Williams, J.)

     This court has inspected the record in this cause and concludes that there is
error in the order below. Therefore, in accordance with this court’s opinion, the
trial court is directed to vacate its order granting Kayci Hinkson’s petition to obtain
pre-suit depositions of the named deponents. We reverse the trial court’s implicit
denial of Appellants’ plea to the jurisdiction by such pre-suit deposition order. We
remand the case with instructions for the trial court to determine its subject matter
jurisdiction in the first instance and then appropriately narrow the scope and
conditions of any order granting Rule 202 depositions. The costs incurred by
reason of this appeal are taxed against Kayci Hinkson.
