The lawsuit centers around a woman who claims Jones kissed her without consent and groped her at AT&T Stadium during a Cowboys-Giants game in September 2018.
The plaintiff said there were several witnesses to the incident in the luxury suite where it happened.
Jones' legal team denies the allegations and calls the case frivolous.
A Supreme Court of Texas ruling this September allowed the case to continue.
