Description
This is an appeal from the trial court's order denying appellant's motion for new trial after the trial court had dismissed with prejudice appellant's complaint as a sanction under TEX.R.CIV.P. 13. The principal question we are asked to decide is whether the 151st District Court had exclusive jurisdiction over this cause of action. We hold that it did not. We reverse and remand the case to the 269th District Court for a trial on the merits. On November 2, 1989, the trial judge in the 151st District Court of Harris County, Texas, Judge Alice Trevathan,1 appointed Michael J. Wood as receiver of the business assets of William Jordan and Betty Jordan and various business entities owned by the Jordans in cause number 87-50925. This order, among other things, authorized Wood to take control of and operate the business affairs of the Jordans and any business entities owned by them. The order also authorized Wood to dispose of the trucking company assets of the Jordans, including motor vehicles and trailers, and to retain such proceeds pending entry of a final judgment in the receivership proceedings.
