Description
This is an appeal from an order granting Appellees special appearance motion. Appellant, Texas Commerce Bank National Association (Texas Commerce), filed suit against Appellee, Interpol 80 Limited Partnership (Interpol), a foreign limited partnership, to collect $63,076.77 allegedly due pursuant to a contract. The trial court ruled that Interpol had not engaged in business in Texas, and therefore was not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court under the Texas long arm statute, TEX. REV. CIV. STAT. ANN., art. 2031b (Vernon Supp. 1985). The trial court held further that to subject Interpol to the jurisdiction of this state would violate the due process requirements of the United States Constitution. We disagree and reverse.
