An Out-of-State Manufacturer Who Places Its Product Within the “Stream of Interstate Commerce” May Be Subjected to In Personam Jurisdiction under the Texas Long-Arm Statute, Article 2031b

Discusses the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit’s decision in Coulter v. Sears, Roebuck & Co. The court in Coulter held that a manufacturer who placed their products into stream of interstate commerce, and whose products were sold within Texas, had sufficient contacts to fall under the Texas Long-Arm statute and thus be subjected to in personam jurisdiction.
