In general terms there has to be a reason why you would be sued in an given state (Say you live there, or if you are driving through and are in a car accident), in both of those examples there would be jurisdiction in that state.
Say for example that you live in GA, and are on a road trip to Texas, and while driving through Alabama you get in a car accident - the only places you could be sued are Alabama and GA, though it would most certainly be filed in Alabama (Since that is probably where the other party lives). You could not be sued in Iowa for that accident, however. This is called having personal jurisdiction.
