IN THE
                          TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

                                  No. 10-12-00052-CV

                              IN RE COLLEEN MYERS

                                 Original Proceeding

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Relator, Colleen Myers, is the defendant in a personal injury suit brought by Britt

and Christina Knighton, plaintiffs. Myers seeks the medical records which are related

to routine mental anguish damages and medical expenses related thereto which the

Knightons allege were caused by the automobile collision between Myers and Britt.

The Knightons have resisted discovery based upon the “Confidentiality of Mental

Health Information in Civil Cases” privilege. TEX. R. EVID. 510. Myers asserts that the

litigation claim exception applies. Id. 510(d)(5).

       We deny the petition. In re Williams, No. 10-08-00364-CV, 2009 Tex. App. LEXIS

1561 (Tex. App.—Waco March 4, 2009, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.).
