Description
The former poet laureate of the United States essays the district court's ruling finding personal jurisdiction over her in Texas. We first determine whether her Rule 11 agreement extending the answer date, filed with the court, constitutes a general appearance. We hold it does not. We then address whether appellant, who expressly agreed to appear in Texas to accept a prestigious award, but refused to do so knowing of appellee's elaborate preparations, subjected herself to the jurisdiction of Texas courts. We hold she has. We accordingly affirm the trial court's denial of her special appearance.
