Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. When does a court in a resident’s state have jurisdiction over a non-resident company who harms a resident in that resident’s state?

What constitutes waiver of a special appearance under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 120a? Did the misapplication of Rule 120a of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure deprive Petitioner of due process of law?
