In Re Adm Investor Services, Inc., Relator

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court abused its discretion by refusing to enforce the forum‑selection clause in the contract between Jetta Prescott and ADM Investor Services, because ADM did not waive the clause and Prescott failed to meet the heavy burden showing enforcement would be unreasonable, unjust, or seriously inconvenient. The Court conditionally granted ADM's petition for a writ of mandamus and ordered dismissal of the case as to the relator, while noting a concurrence discussing the evidentiary standards for medical‑hardship exceptions.
