In In re Ramsey, 28 S.W.3d 58 (Tex. App.--Texarkana 2000, orig. proceeding), Nita Hodges, heir of the estate of Kenneth Hodges, filed suit in district court to establish the existence of an oral partnership between Kenneth Hodges and Cecil Lesley and to wind up the partnership. She alleged that she had given notice to Lesley requesting that the partnership tender payment of the redemption price for Kenneth Hodges's partnership interest, and that Lesley acted in bad faith in refusing to tender payment. Lesley died shortly after Kenneth Hodges, and Ramsey and Chase Bank were appointed administrators of Lesley's estate. The probate court granted Chase's motion to transfer Hodges's suit to itself under section 5B. Hodges then filed for appointment of a receiver in the district court when she learned that Chase and Ramsey had filed a motion in the probate court seeking to lease real property that she alleged was part of the partnership property. Despite the probate court's transfer order, the district court continued with the suit, appointing a receiver and setting it for trial. Ramsey and Chase Bank petitioned for writ of mandamus against the district court. The Sixth Court of Appeals granted the writ, concluding that the partnership suit was within the probate court's jurisdiction. Although the court of appeals concluded that the transfer was proper because the personal representative of the Lesley Estate was a party to the partnership suit, it also concluded that the partnership suit was appertaining to the Lesley Estate because the partnership suit affected estate property. Specifically, the court of appeals held that because the spouse, heirs, or personal representative of a deceased partner succeed to the partner's partnership interest, a suit concerning the partnership's property affects estate property. Id. at 63. While this is true, Ramsey is distinguishable from the present case because, as the court of appeals acknowledged, "Hodges had an interest in property controlled by the estate that would be affected by the administration, and thus she had a pecuniary interest in the probate proceedings." Id. at 62.
