If
an action is commenced in good faith and a
subsequent timely
objection to the venue is sustained, or if before trial on the merit commences,
it is found that
no cause of action exists in favor of or against a party upon whom venue was
dependent, the
action shall be transferred to a court of proper jurisdiction of any county of
proper venue. If
there is more than one such county, the transfer shall be to the court of a
county selected by
the plaintiff. In accordance with
