OPINION

Opinion by

Justice EVANS.

Julie Stull and JMJ Productions sued Greg LaPlant, Chris Kolaskos, and others for breach of contract to provide entertainment services in Dallas, Texas. The trial court granted LaPlant and Kolaskos’s special appearance by which they challenged personal jurisdiction based on the application of the fiduciary shield doctrine. In this interlocutory appeal, appellants contend the trial court erred because the fiduciary shield doctrine does not apply to the exercise of specific jurisdiction. We affirm the trial court’s order.
