Description
A foreign manufacturer sold its products in Texas through a Texas distributor. We must decide whether the use of that distributorship insulates the manufacturer from the reach of a Texas court when one of the products injures a Texas citizen. We hold that a manufacturer is subject to specific personal jurisdiction in Texas when it intentionally targets Texas as the marketplace for its products, and that using a distributor-intermediary for that purpose provides no haven from the jurisdiction of a Texas court. Because, in this case, personal jurisdiction comports with traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice, we affirm the court of appeals judgment.
