POTKOVICK v. REGIONAL VENTURES, INC.

No. 11-94-060-CV.

904 S.W.2d 846 (1995)

Rosella M. POTKOVICK and Texahoma Realty Development, Ltd., Appellants, v. REGIONAL VENTURES, INC., Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Texas, Eastland.

Rehearing Overruled September 21, 1995.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

McCord Wilson, Kelly Gill, McMahon, Surovik, Suttle, Buhrmann, Cobb & Hicks, Abilene, for appellants.

Jerry L. Hiersche, Jay M. Rosenberg, Miller, Hiersche, Martens, Hayward, and Drakeley, Dallas, for appellee.

Before ARNOT, C.J., and WRIGHT and McCLOUD, JJ. (Assigned).

ARNOT, Chief Justice.

The issue presented in this appeal is whether the Texas Long Arm Statute, TEX. CIV.PRAC. & REM.CODE ANN. § 17.042 (Vernon 1986), authorizes the exercise of in personam jurisdiction over a nonresident who owns real estate in Texas. We conclude that mere ownership of the real property alone is insufficient to bestow in personam jurisdiction: the ownership of the real property must be the subject of the underlying suit.
