CHONGQING HUANSONG INDUSTRIES GROUP IMP. & EXP. TRADE CO., LTD. AND CHONGQING HUANSONG INDUSTRIES (GROUP) CO., LTD., Appellants v. FUN MOTORS OF LONGVIEW, INC., Appellee
On Appeal from the 71st District Court Harrison County, Texas
Trial Court No. 19-0153 Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
The 71st Judicial District Court of Harrison County, Texas, found that it had personal jurisdiction over Chinese foreign corporations Chongqing Huansong Industries Group Imp. & Exp. Trade Co., Ltd. (CH Trade), and Chongqing Huansong Industries (Group) Co., Ltd. (CH Group). On appeal from the denial of their special appearances, CH Trade and CH Group, (collectively referred to as the Industries), argue that the trial court's finding of personal jurisdiction is unsupported by legally and factually sufficient evidence.
The Industries also question whether a Texas-based subsidiary was shown to be an alter ego of the Industries, even though the trial court did not issue express findings on this matter. --------
The Industries' brief raises issues common to those raised in their appeal of the trial court's denial of their special appearances in cause number 06-20-00045-CV. For reasons stated in our opinion in cause number 06-20-00045-CV, we find that sufficient evidence supported the trial court's finding of personal jurisdiction over the Industries and that our ruling on this issue is dispositive of this appeal.
We affirm the trial court's denial of the Industries' special appearances.
