A Texas Court of Appeals has ruled that a music production company can sue an Atlanta-based hip-hop artist for breach of contract in a Houston state court even though the performer claimed he had no connection to the Lone Star State.

The case involves Wilbart McCoy, a Georgia resident who performs under the name “Vedo.” In 2014, McCoy signed an exclusive recording contract with Platinum Power Moves (PPM), an Oklahoma-based company, according to the decision.
