Sol W. Laykin v. John R. Mcfall

Relator Sol W. Laykin brings this petition seeking writ of mandamus directed to the Honorable John R. McFall, respondent. This proceeding arises from a suit against relator by Jane Livermore seeking recovery for conversion, fraud and deceptive trade practices. Relator, a California resident, filed a special appearance, contesting the Texas courts jurisdiction over him. Respondent, the trial judge, overruled relators special appearance, finding the court did have jurisdiction over him.
