Panalpina, Inc., 179 F.3d 331, 339 (5th Cir.1999).

2015General jurisdiction, unlike specific jurisdiction, “may be proper even when the cause of action does not arise out of the defendant’s activities in the forum state.” Sumatra, 403 S.W.3d at 744 ; see also Gordon, 300 S.W.3d at 648 (“ ‘[U]nlike the specific jurisdiction analysis, which focuses on the cause of action, the defendant and the forum, a general jurisdiction inquiry is dispute blind.”’) (quoting Dickson Marine, Inc. v.
