MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

SIDNEY A. FITZWATER, Chief Judge.

The instant motion to remand presents the question whether this Tex.R. Civ. P. 202 proceeding — which allows a person to petition a Texas court for authorization to take depositions before suit to perpetuate or obtain testimony for use in an anticipated suit or to investigate a potential claim or suit — is removable under the court’s diversity jurisdiction. Concluding that it is not, the court grants petitioner’s motion and remands this matter to state court.
