OPINION
Opinion by
Justice MAZZANT.
In this case, we must determine whether a claim under chapter 10 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code for sanctions for frivolous litigation may be brought in an independent lawsuit in a different court and county from the underlying litigation. The Dallas County trial court concluded it lacked jurisdiction over a frivolous litigation claim concerning a lawsuit filed in Denton County, and the Dallas County court dismissed the claim for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Suhas Mantri, M.D. appeals the dismissal of his claim, and we affirm.
