Business Court Denies Plea to Jurisdiction in Real Estate Development Indemnity Dispute, Applying Traditional Amount-in-Controversy Analysis

In Pradera SFR v. American Housing Ventures, Division 4 denied defendant's plea to the jurisdiction challenging whether plaintiff's indemnity and contract reformation claims arising from a copyright infringement settlement satisfied the $5 million amount-in-controversy threshold under Section 25A.004(d). The opinion applies Texas's well-established plea-to-jurisdiction standard to determine the Business Court's subject-matter jurisdiction over claims tied to a single-family rental development project and subsequent settlement agreement.
