This opinion concludes the court lacks subject-matter jurisdiction to hear a case commenced before September 1, 2024. This 2018 suit was removed to the Business Court from district court under Chapter 25A of the Texas Government Code. Though all parties consented to the removal, the court examined its jurisdiction sua sponte and concluded the legislation creating the Business Court of Texas does not grant the court jurisdiction, requiring remand.
