In Re Laibe Corporation, Relator

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court conditionally granted a writ of mandamus, holding that the trial court abused its discretion by refusing to enforce a contractual forum‑selection clause and directing the trial court to grant Laibe Corporation’s motion to dismiss. The Court found the clause enforceable, rejected Jackson Drilling’s arguments of inconvenience and fraud, and declined to treat the two‑month filing delay as fatal.
