That's how the trolls were using TX courts prior to this decision. If you have a website, you're doing business in TX and that's where we'll sue. Sounds like this requires you to be based out of or incorporated where you're sued.

If Texas was a country instead of a state, it would have the 10th largest economy in the world, you won't see any such games to avoid Texas (not that it's legally relevant anyway)

Oh? So if your servers cannot connect to anyone in texas you are still liable to trollers for having a business there?

I believe the point was that blanket-banning Texas makes no fiscal sense (especially in the wake of this new judicial development), since you're cutting yourself off from a lot of potential revenue with little benefit.
So if you are an internet company, add this to your header:
if (ip_address_in_texas) exit;
Otherwise you might still being doing business there?
