This is a breach of contract case based on an insurance contract entered into by Smith (P) and D. Now before the Court is D's Motion to Transfer Venue pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). D's request for a transfer of venue is centered around the fact that Galveston does not have a commercial airport and that D will be faced with the huge 'inconvenience' of flying into Houston and driving less than forty miles to the Galveston courthouse, an act that will 'encumber' it with 'unnecessary driving time and expenses.'
