Texas Supreme Court

Ira Resources, Inc., Petitioner v. Enrique Juan Griego and Sonya Griego, Respondents

April 20, 200750 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 645

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Texas courts lack specific personal jurisdiction over IRA Resources, Inc., a California corporation, because its contacts with Texas were random and insufficient to constitute purposeful availment. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals’ judgment and remanded for the Court of Appeals to consider whether general jurisdiction exists over IRA Resources.
