Texas Supreme Court

Elizabeth Hall, Petitioners v. Helicopteros Nacionales De Colombia, S. A. (“helicol”), Respondent

October 6, 1982638 S.W.2d 870

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Helicol, a Colombian corporation, was amenable to personal jurisdiction in Texas because its extensive contacts with the state satisfied the due‑process requirements of the Fourteenth Amendment and Texas long‑arm statute. The court affirmed the trial court's judgment and reversed the appellate court.
