Roger Michael Ames and Heights State Bank, Petitioners v. R.e. Ames and R.g. Ames, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts' judgments, holding that the state court had proper subject‑matter jurisdiction over the conversion claim and that ERISA did not preempt the state law action because the plan had been terminated. The Court also held that the Court of Appeals correctly applied the Pool standard when reviewing the jury's factual findings.
