Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Harriet E. Miers, Thomas A. Connop, Thomas F. Loose, Kirsten M. Castaneda, Locke Purnell Rain Harrell, P.C., Dallas, Arnulfo Gonzalez, Jr., Law Offices of Arnulfo Gonzalez, Laredo, for Appellant.

Ape C.M. Zaffirini, Zaffirini & Castillo, Laredo, for Appellee.

Before STONE and GREEN and ANGELINI, JJ.


OPINION

STONE, Justice.

This is an accelerated appeal from an interlocutory order denying Disney Enterprises, Inc.'s ("Disney") Rule 120a special appearance. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM.CODE ANN. § 51.014(a)(7) (Vernon Supp.1998). Because we find that Disney is not amenable to suit in Texas, we reverse the trial court's order and order the cause dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction.
