No TX jurisdiction over a trustee

A trust administrator based in South Dakota was not subject to personal jurisdiction in Texas: “South Dakota Trust Company is a trustee in a passive role in that its roles and duties are limited and there is no evidence it sought to conduct business in Texas. Indeed, the Trusts are managed completely in South Dakota. Similarly, the fact that the Trusts’ beneficiaries are Texas residents is insufficient to assert jurisdiction over South Dakota Trust Company.” Willow Tree Consulting Group LLC v. South Dakota Trust Co., LLC, No. 05-22-00176-CV (June 1, 2023).
