INTERNATIONAL PLANT SERVICES, LLC, MBC HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, NOUREDDINE AYED, KARIM AYED, NIDA SARMIENTO, RICHARD DALE JOHNSTON, ADRIENNE WILSON, AND LEYSANDER BUSTAMONTE, Appellees

The trial court dismissed this case, that alleged causes of action based on alleged human trafficking, on the defendants' motion based on principles of international comity. Considering all of the factors of Section 403 of the Restatement (Third) of the Foreign Relations Law of the United States, in light of the Texas law on forum non conveniens and the principle that Texas courts must not delegate their judicial prerogative where jurisdiction exists, exercise of jurisdiction over this case by Texas is not unreasonable. The trial court's judgment is reversed and remanded. Houston's 1st Court of Appeals, No. 01-13-00310-CV, 08-12-2014
