A “plea of privilege” is an obsolete method of challenging venue in Texas. The plea of privilege was eliminated in the 1983 revisions of the venue statutes. A motion to transfer is the proper procedural method to object to improper venues. For more up to date information on changing venues, see Motion to Transfer Venue under Texas motion summaries. A defendant no longer has the privilege to be sued in the county of the defendant’s residence or domicile. (Tex. R. Civ. P. 86, 87; Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 15.063)
