What is a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction in an insurance litigation case?

A motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction in an insurance litigation case is a request from one of the parties in the case to have the court dismiss the case due to lack of jurisdiction. In Texas, a court may only hear a case if it has jurisdiction or authority to do so. Jurisdiction typically involves a court having authority to hear cases in the area or concerning the parties in the case. In an insurance litigation case, the court may lack jurisdiction if the parties are from different states, or are in different countries. In order to make a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, the party must prove to the court that it does not have the legal authority to hear the case because of a lack of jurisdiction. The court will review the motion and any evidence presented in order to determine whether it has the authority to hear the case. If the court finds that it does not have jurisdiction, then it will dismiss the case. On the other hand, if the court finds that it does have jurisdiction, the case will proceed as normal.
