United States Steel Corporation v. Fiberglass Specialties

This is a venue case. It includes an appeal from an order overruling the pleas of privilege of three multiple defendants, from which United States Steel Corporation (US Steel) and its unincorporated division USS Chemicals have appealed in Cause No. 1536 and defendant Freeman Chemical Corporation (Freeman) has appealed in Cause No. 1537; and also includes an appeal of Fiberglass Specialties, Inc. (Fiberglass) from orders sustaining the pleas of privilege of two non-corporate defendants, Austin Thornton (Thornton) and Charlie Snyder (Snyder) in Cause No. 1538. We have concluded that the appeal in Cause Nos. 1537 and 1538 should be consolidated with the appeal in the present case (1536) and it is so ordered.
