(August 15, 2018, 2:26 PM EDT) -- HOUSTON — A Texas appeals panel on Aug. 14 affirmed a trial court’s ruling and held that an investigative journalist’s lawsuit seeking to unseal a deposition in an asbestos case was properly dismissed for lack of jurisdiction because the plenary power of the trial court had expired and the document itself was not an official court record (Christine Cole Biederman v. Beverly Jean Brown, et al., No. 01-07-00263-CV, Texas App., 1st Dist.; 2018 Tex. App. LEXIS 6338)....
