Texas Court of Appeals, 13th District October 3, 1991, 13-90-352-CV (Rodriguez v. State Department of Highways & Public Transportation)

OPINION

KENNEDY, Justice.

This is an appeal from a Rule 13 sanctions order. The trial court assessed Rule 13 sanctions against appellant, Rodriguez, including dismissal of his case with prejudice. In addition, the trial court ordered Rule 13 sanctions imposed against Rodriguez’s attorney for filing a groundless pleading. We find that the trial court abused its discretion in ordering sanctions.
