Texas Supreme Court

In Re Vaishangi, Inc., Relators

June 6, 201457 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 690

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the handwritten Rule 11 settlement agreement was not an agreed judgment and therefore the trial court lacked jurisdiction to enforce it after its plenary power expired thirty days after the dismissal order. Because the trial court acted beyond its authority, the Court conditionally granted the petition for mandamus and directed the trial court to vacate its enforcement order.
