Quixtar Inc., Petitioner v. Signature Management Team, LLC, D/b/a Team, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and reinstated the trial court’s forum non conveniens dismissal, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion, that a nonresident plaintiff’s forum choice warrants less deference and a lighter burden on the defendant, and that the appellate court erred by demanding the defendant prove each Gulf Oil factor “strongly” favored dismissal.
