Texas Judicial Branch

Slant Operating v. Octane Energy Operating, 2025 Tex. Bus. 22 (8th Div.)

Bullard, J. | May 23, 2025

This opinion addresses whether the Plaintiff pleaded facts sufficient to establish subject-matter jurisdiction under Texas Government Code § 25A.004(d)(1) and whether the Defendant successfully challenged jurisdiction on the grounds of pleading insufficiency and existence of jurisdictional facts. The Court concludes that because the Plaintiff has pleaded sufficient jurisdictional allegations and the Defendant failed to successfully refute these allegations, the Court must deny Defendant’s Plea to the Jurisdiction.
