Business Litigation Statutes for Plano
- Section 152.054 prohibits false or misleading statements that suggest someone is a partner when that is not true. Violations expose the speaker to liability if a third party relies on the misrepresentation.
- Section 152.307 gives creditors who relied on that false representation every common-law remedy available for fraud, agency, or unjust-enrichment claims.
- Chapter 153 clarifies that limited partners owe no general-partner duties, spells out dual-status rules for anyone who is both a general and a limited partner, and lists actions—such as acting as an officer or approving budgets—that do not strip limited-liability protection under Section 153.103.
- Section 21.218 lets shareholders who have held stock for six months, or who own at least five percent of the shares, inspect and copy corporate books and records after making a written demand that states a proper purpose.
