Texas Judicial Branch

Aspire Commercial v. Stephenson, 2026 Tex. Bus. 23 (11th Div.) (mem. op.)

Stagner, J. | May 8, 2026

  • Denying a motion to remand.

  • Section 25A.006(f)(2) establishes a deadline for removal to Business Court, not a prohibition on removal until thirty days after the TI application is granted, denied, or denied by operation of law.

  • Mere attorney argument cannot establish that the amount in controversy is less than $5 million.

  • Motive for removal is not relevant to the remand analysis.
