Description
Deidre Hanley, Tara Hanley and Ann Hanley appeal from the trial courts judgment striking their pleadings and assessing monetary sanctions against them for alleged discovery abuse. In six points of error appellants contend that: (1) the trial court abused its discretion by striking their pleadings; (2) the trial court abused its discretion by assessing $89,000 in monetary sanctions against them; (3) the sanctions imposed violated the Texas and United States constitutions; (4) the trial court erred by refusing to hear their motion for sanctions; (5) the trial court erred by ruling that they had no standing and thus could not participate in the case at the final hearing; and (6) the trial court erred by refusing to allow them to make bills of exceptions. We hold that the trial court abused its discretion by striking appellants pleadings, dismissing their causes of action, and assessing $89,000 in monetary sanctions. Accordingly, we reverse the trial courts judgment, reinstate appellants causes of action, and remand the cause for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
