Texas Supreme Court

Geochem Tech Corporation, Petitioner v. Michael S. Verseckes, Geoserv Company, Inc., Breckenridge Exploration…

February 13, 199841 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 441

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a nonsuit does not automatically fix venue in the county to which a transfer was sought; venue is determined by the state of the record at the time of the nonsuit. Accordingly, the trial court erred in transferring the case to Stephens County and the judgment of the Court of Appeals was reversed and remanded for further proceedings in Van Zandt County.
