Business Court Lacks Jurisdiction Over Pre-Effective Date Cases Under Plain Language of H.B. 19

In Morningstar Winans v. Berry, the Texas Business Court held it lacked jurisdiction over a removal petition for a lawsuit originally filed in 2022, concluding that Chapter 25A's removal procedure applies only to cases commenced on or after September 1, 2024. The decision establishes that the Business Court's temporal jurisdiction is determined by the case filing date, not the date of underlying transactions or events.
