General Electric Co. v. Brown & Ross International Distributors, Inc.

OPINION ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

In their motion for rehearing, defendants contend we reviewed the trial court’s decision de novo, when we should have applied the factual and legal sufficiency test to the evidence. The appropriate standard of review in the appeal of a special appearance case is to review all the evidence in the record. See Schlobohm v. Schapiro, 784 S.W.2d 355, 358 (Tex.1990); Helicopteros Nacionales v. Hall, 616 S.W.2d 247, 251 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1981), reversed, 638 S.W.2d 870 (Tex.1982), reversed, Helicopteros Nacionales v. Hall, 466 U.S. 408, 414-15, 104 S.Ct. 1868, 1872, 80 L.Ed.2d 404 (1984).

We conclude we applied the correct standard of review and we overrule the motion for rehearing.
