Texans' Janice McNair fights for guardianship as son takes her to court
Cary McNair's attorneys argued this month that the 87-year-old should undergo an independent medical exam to determine her mental capacity.
That's after they say a stroke she suffered in January 2022 has limited her ability to conduct business.
However, her other son, Cal McNair, and Janice McNair's attorneys say she's in good health, arguing she has already been examined by two doctors who said she was well.
According to the Chronicle's report, Janice McNair's lawyers are pleased with the judge's decision to deny the medical examination. The next step would be for the attorneys to ask the judge to dismiss the case.
