Description

Appellant Bernard J. Dolenz appeals the trial court's decision to dismiss this cause for want of jurisdiction. This case originated in November 1982 when appellee Southwestern Bell Telephone Company allegedly wrongfully interrupted appellant's phone service. The trial court granted appellee's plea in abatement1 and dismissed appellant's suit against the Company for lack of jurisdiction. The issue on appeal is whether the court has jurisdiction over the case. Because we find that it does, we sustain appellant's points of error, reverse the trial court and demand this cause for further proceedings. In his petition, appellant alleges that he has a cause of action against appellee arising from the interruption of his telephone service. Appellee argues that the legislature has granted exclusive jurisdiction to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) under the Public Utilities Regulatory Act, (PURA) and therefore, the trial court does not have jurisdiction to hear this case until appellant has exhausted his administrative remedies.
