Kshatrya v. Texas Workforce Commissiongreen
texapp · 2003 · cited in 1 Texas opinions naming this issue, 2023–2023
2 sentences

2023Six Brothers cites Kshatrya v. Texas Workforce Commission, which held that the mandatory venue requirement in Section 61.062(d) of the Labor Code was not a jurisdictional requirement. 97 S.W.3d 825, 831 (Tex. App.— Dallas 2003 , no pet.).

2023Although the Kshatrya court concluded “there is nothing in the statutory language 7 suggesting [Section 61.062(d)] is a jurisdictional prerequisite,” Kshatrya, 97 S.W.3d at 831 , the court could not consider whether the mandatory venue requirement is a statutory prerequisite within the meaning of the final sentence of Section 311.034 because the legislature had not enacted the final sentence at that time.1 Kshatrya does not answer the question in this case: whether Section 61.062(d)’s mandatory venue requirement is a statutory prerequisite to suit within the meaning of Section 311.034.

1998Cox Engineering, Inc., v. Funston Machine and *53 Supply Co., 749 S.W.2d 508, 512 (Tex.App.—Fort Worth 1988, no writ), and a review of that exhibit fails to establish a prima facie case of venue in Anderson County. 11 Ellis having failed to establish venue in Anderson County, the question then becomes whether venue should have been transferred to Harris County under the mandatory venue exception set forth in Section 15.018(b)(2). 12 As noted above, in its motion to transfer, the Railroad pleaded venue under Section 15.018, and Ellis’ Response did not specifically deny those venue facts as requ
