MAJORITY OPINION
ADELE HEDGES, Chief Justice.
In this accelerated appeal, appellants, Dan Kelly and Laura Hofstatter, challenge the denial of their special appearance, asserting that the trial court did not have personal jurisdiction over them with respect to appellee’s, General Interior Construction, Inc. (“General”), breach of contract and fraud claims and alleged violations under chapter 162 of the Texas Property Code. We affirm the trial court’s order denying the special appearance as to General’s chapter 162 and fraud claims, and reverse as to General’s breach of contract claim.
