Existing District Court Receivership Defeats Business Court Jurisdiction Over Partnerships

In Parker v. Lynzara-Austin Real Estate Management, the Business Court's Fourth Division dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction where partnerships were already under receivership in a Kendall County district court outside the Business Court's operating territory. The court held that the district court retains exclusive jurisdiction over entities in receivership for the duration of that receivership, applying Texas Government Code Chapter 25A and Business Organizations Code Chapter 11.
