1 Tex. Admin. Code § 12.30 - [Effective 7/3/2025] Requests for Disclosure
(a) The
discovery rules of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure requiring initial
disclosures without awaiting a discovery request do not apply to sworn
complaint proceedings, except as may be ordered or allowed by the
judge.
(b) A party may request
disclosure of documents or information that the opposing party has in its
possession, custody, or control, including, but not limited to, the following:
(1) the correct names of the parties to the
contested case; the name, address, and telephone number of any potential
parties;
(2) a general description
of the legal theories and the factual bases of the responding party's claims or
defenses, if not already set forth in the notice of complaint, response to a
complaint, or document filed in the record of the proceeding.
(3) the name, address, and telephone number
of persons having knowledge of relevant facts, and a brief statement of each
identified person's connection with the case; the statement of any person with
knowledge of relevant facts (witness statement) regardless of when the
statement was made; and
(4) a copy,
or description by category and location, of all documents, electronic
information, and tangible items that the disclosing party has in its
possession, custody or control and may use to support its claims or defenses,
unless the use would be solely for impeachment. A request for disclosure made
pursuant to this subsection is not considered a request for production.
