Texas Supreme Court

Ramiro Garza and J & R Valley Oilfield Services, Inc., Petitioners v. Ines Gonzalez Garcia, Respondent

May 14, 200447 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 570

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a venue transfer order that includes a convenience-of‑the‑parties phrase but provides no indication of the ground is immune from appellate review under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §15.002(c), and therefore the Court of Appeals erred in reversing the trial court’s venue order. The Court also affirmed that a motion for new trial filed without the required fee is conditionally filed and extends appellate deadlines.
