TEXAS - 2006
Cases
In a case involving a Texas resident injured at a New Mexico ski resort, Kervin v. Red River Ski Area, 711 F.Supp. 1383 (E.D.Tex. 1989), the court found sufficient systematic and continuous contacts with Texas to exercise personal jurisdiction over the out of state resort; the resort advertised heavily in Texas by television, radio, and direct mail, and a great number of its customers were shown to be Texas residents. But compare with the similar case of Blanks v. Taos Ski Valley, Inc., 706 F.Supp. 515 (E.D.Tex. 1988) (defendant's motion for transfer granted).
