Heading: Inadequate Remedy by Appeal

Text: We have held that there is no adequate remedy by appeal when a trial court refuses to enforce a forum-selection clause. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am ., 148 S.W.3d 124, 138 (Tex. 2004). Erroneous denial of a forum-non- conveniens motion is closely analogous, and for the same reasons cannot be adequately rectified on appeal. We conclude that Pirelli has no adequate remedy by appeal, and conditionally grant mandamus relief.    For the foregoing reasons, we conditionally grant Pirelli’s petition for writ of mandamus, and direct the trial court to dismiss the case in accordance with our opinion. The writ will issue only if the trial court fails to comply. ___________________________________ Harriet O’Neill
