Contacts but no jurisdiction

An out-of-state bus company purposely availed itself of Texas by entering an “Interline Agreement” with Greyhound, but the “operative facts” of the claims did not arise from those contacts. The Fifth Court held that the claims against the bus company were “principally concerned with the driver’s operation of the bus in Utah and [the company’s] conduct in employing the driver and otherwise providing the bus transportation in question,” rather than any activities or agreements that took place in Texas. Western Trails Charters and Tours, LLC v. Provance, No. 05-24-01089-CV (May 29, 2025) (mem. op.). (The graphic was an attempt to show, using AI, the “long arm” statute reaching out to a bus, which did not entirely succeed.)
