Martinkus v. Bartkus

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that in personam decree enables court with personal and subject matter jurisdiction to issue order affecting extraterritorial property
• noting that the most frequent examples are actions involving contracts, mortgages and leases
• refusing to treat the matter as transitory because interpretation of the leases in issue would not resolve the controversy
• Texas courts have exclusive jurisdiction to determine title to realty in Texas; a South Carolina court decision would receive no full faith and credit in Texas courts
