Supreme Court of Texas

In a case arising from a default on a promissory note for the purchase of a jet, the lender's petition for writ of mandamus is conditionally granted where the trial court abused its discretion in failing to enforce a contractual jury waiver provision as there was no evidence that the provision was invalid or that the lender knowingly waived its contractual right to a non-jury trial.
