Description
Appellant was injured in an industrial accident involving a milling machine while working in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. He sued appellees Furmanite Australia Pty., Ltd. (Furmanite) and Tony Backhouse alleging that they were strictly liable in tort because they designed, marketed, and manufactured the milling machine which caused his injuries. Appellant alleges that this machine was defective and unreasonably dangerous. Appellees filed a joint special appearance and plea to the jurisdiction alleging that because both were residents of Australia, Texas courts did not have personal jurisdiction over them. The trial court granted appellees special appearances and dismissed the causes of action against them. In one point of error, appellant alleges that the trial court erred in granting the appellees special appearance. We affirm.
