The Texas Lawbook~~In their Expert Voices article for The Texas Lawbook, Gibson Dunn partners Hillary H. Holmes and Gerry Spedale highlight the key points that companies incorporated or operating in Texas — or considering redomestication to Texas — need to know about recent changes to the Texas Business Organizations Code (TBOC), which positions Texas as an increasingly attractive option for the state of incorporation.~~“For general counsels, officers and directors of Texas corporations and those considering redomestication to Texas,” they note, “these reforms offer significant new protections and opportunities — but also raise new compliance considerations.
