In re Fox River Real Estate Holdings, not unlike King Kong v. Godzilla (right), involved a clash of titans in the form of competing venue statutes. The Court held that section 15.020, which allows agreed venue for “major transactions” “means what it says and indicates that the Legislature intended for it to control over other venue provisions within” the same title, and not necessarily over the provision in 65.023 that fixes venue in a defendant’s county of domicile in a suit primarily seeking injunctive relief. No. 18-0913 (Jan. 31, 2020)
