In addition, for the convenience of parties and witnesses, and in the interest of justice, a district court may transfer any civil action to any other district or division where it might have been brought. 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). 1/2 Dockets.Justia.com In this case, the events about which Plaintiff complains occurred in Bowie County, Texas.
