Bearry V. Beech Aircraft Corp‪.‬

This case presents the question whether the Constitution prohibits the exercise of jurisdiction by a Texas court over a nonresident defendant for claims having no relation to Texas, solely because a large quantity of products manufactured by the defendant, Beech Aircraft Corporation, has flowed into Texas during the past five years. We granted leave to appeal the district court's denial of Beech's motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction or, in the alternative, to transfer venue to Mississippi, a motion resting on the assertion that the district court erroneously employed the concept of "stream of commerce" to find that Texas had general jurisdiction over Beech -- that Texas can exercise personal jurisdiction over Beech for any claims asserted against it. We reverse.
