In Re Continental Airlines Inc‪.‬

In these original mandamus proceedings we decide whether venue for the underlying lawsuits is mandatory in the counties where the relators are domiciled. The City of Fort Worth filed suit in Tarrant County district court for a judgment declaring rights under compacts and agreements with the City of Dallas concerning Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and the use of Love Field Airport. It later sought temporary injunctive relief against airlines using Love Field. Each of the relators moved to transfer venue, arguing that Fort Worths causes of action, properly considered, are injunction suits that must be brought in a defendants domicile county. The trial court denied the motions. We conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion, and deny mandamus relief.
