Chaudhry v. Stillwater Capital Investments, 2025 Tex. Bus. 31 (1st Div.)

Whitehill, J. | August 12, 2025

This case concerns whether (i) a party must file a separate removal notice, consent to removal, or join in another party’s notice to argue that the case is removed as to it; (ii) claims alleging common law and statutory fraud inducing a member to enter an LLC company agreement are actions “regarding” the company’s “internal affairs” or “governing documents”; (iii) the case-wide amount in controversy requirement encompasses counterclaims; and (iv) this court recognizes non-statutory grounds for declining to exercise original subject matter jurisdiction.
