OPINION
WILSON, Justice.
Raymond B. James appeals from the trial court’s order sustaining the special appearance in favor of Illinois Central Railroad Company (Illinois Central). In eight points of error, James contends personal jurisdiction over Illinois Central in Texas is proper because inter alia: (1) minimum contacts analysis has been satisfied; (2) Illinois Central waived its right to challenge jurisdiction; and (3) territorial jurisdiction over Illinois Central was satisfied when its agent was served with process while conducting business in Texas. We affirm the trial court’s order.
