## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- concluding that “discovery limited to ascertaining facts related to the jurisdictional plea” was proper in suit asserting claims arising from termination of teacher’s employment with diocese
- stating that “discovery limited to ascertaining facts related to the jurisdictional plea” was appropriate
- holding requested mandamus relief on jurisdictional issue was premature where trial court had yet to rule on it

## Opinion text

LEE, Justice,
concurring.
I concur in the result reached by the majority in this case. The district court’s order limiting discovery was necessary to determine whether the court had jurisdiction over the suit.
