(b) If a construction contract or an agreement collateral to or affecting the construction contract contains a provision making the contract or agreement or any conflict arising under the contract or agreement subject to another state's law, litigation in the courts of another state, or arbitration in another state, that provision is void as against public policy.
(c) To the extent that a venue provision in a contract is void under Subsection (b), unless the parties stipulate to another venue after the dispute arises, an action arising out of the contract shall be brought only in this state in the county in which the property that is the subject of the litigation is located.
