Description
In this accelerated, interlocutory appeal, appellant Thomas E. Lewis ("Lewis") challenges the trial courts order overruling his special appearance. See Tex. Civ. Prac. &; Rem. Code Ann. § 51.04 (a) (7) (Vernon Supp. 2004-2005). The action below was initiated when appellees sued Lewis, a resident of Florida, respecting his distribution of funds of Indian Springs Land Corporation ("ISLC"). At the time of the distribution of funds, Lewis was president and a shareholder of ISLC. The relationship of the parties spanned several years and involved a series of business transactions culminating in Lewiss distribution of funds in payment of certain of ISLCs promissory notes. The claims asserted by appellees which challenge Lewiss distribution of funds include breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, fraud, misappropriation of funds, and statutory theft. For the following reasons, we conclude that Lewis is subject to specific jurisdiction in Texas. The trial courts order is affirmed.
