7 The Supreme Court held that the issue of the propriety of Texas state court for litigation of plaintiff’s claims had not been adjudicated in the previous action, and the question of whether federal law had preempted state law in this situation was for the state courts in the first instance. On remand, the Texas Supreme Court held that federal maritime law preempted state law, although the U.S. Supreme Court’s later decision in American Dredging Co. v. Miller, 114 S.Ct. 981 (1994), ruled that a state court was free to apply its own doctrine of forum non conveniens to claims brought in state court under the Jones Act and general maritime law.
