OPINION
SAM J. DAY, Justice.
In this original proceeding, we must decide whether nursing home investigation reports prepared by the Texas Department of Human Services (TDHS), a nursing home’s responsive plans of correction, and the testimony of TDHS surveyors regarding their investigations are excluded from discovery under the peer-review privilege. Because we conclude that such information is not exempt from discovery under the peer-review privilege, we conditionally grant the writ of mandamus.
