Davey v. Shaw

In this accelerated, interlocutory appeal, appellants Martin Davey ("Davey") and Source New Zealand, Ltd. ("SNZ") challenge the trial courts order denying their special appearances in a suit brought by appellee Jasen Shaw ("Shaw") for unpaid commissions. See Tex. Civ. Prac. &; Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(a)(7) (Vernon Supp. 2006). In six issues, Davey and SNZ contend the trial court erred in concluding personal jurisdiction exists over them. We agree. For the reasons set forth below, we reverse the trial courts order and render judgment granting the special appearances of Davey and SNZ.
