December 22, 199539 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 173

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court denied Ford Motor Company's motion to transfer the plaintiffs' appeal from the Sixth Court of Appeals to the Twelfth Court of Appeals. The Court applied the common‑law rule that the first appeal perfected acquires dominant jurisdiction, finding no good cause to override that rule. The decision leaves the appeal in the Sixth Court of Appeals.
