Summary
The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that §15.007 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code bars a statutory probate court from transferring a wrongful death action to itself under §5B of the Probate Code when venue in the probate court’s county is improper, that the probate court lacked dominant jurisdiction because venue was improper, and that the anti‑suit injunction issued by the Harris County district court was proper.
