Plaintiffs sued our clients, including a production company, for breach of implied contract, fraud, negligence, civil conspiracy, and other causes of action based on plaintiffs' assertions that defendants used plaintiffs' allegedly secret ideas and concepts for a reality television show without compensating plaintiffs. The production company, a New York resident with its principal place of business in New York, filed a special appearance asserting that it was not amenable to the personal jurisdiction of the Texas court and that the court could not exercise either specific or general jurisdiction over it. After briefing and a hearing on the special appearance, the trial court sustained the special appearance and dismissed all claims against the production company.
