Description
Ten silicosis cases involving hundreds of plaintiffs were filed in Cameron County and randomly assigned to six different courts. At the behest of different parties, three judges issued conflicting orders asserting jurisdiction over cases in their own courts or others. Because the Cameron County local rules permit a unilateral transfer only by the court where the first case was filed, we conditionally grant a writ of mandamus directing the others to vacate orders forbidding that transfer.
