# §30.221. May the judge limit the time, place, and scope of discovery?


Yes. The judge may limit the time, place, and scope of discovery either:

- (a) On timely motion by any interested party, if that party also gives notice to all interested parties and shows good cause; or
- (b) When the judge determines that limits are necessary to prevent delay of the proceeding or prevent undue hardship to a party or witness.
