Texas Two-Step: What’s All the Fuss About?

The Texas Business Organizations Code permits a Texas corporation, LLC or limited partnership to merge into itself and thereby divide its assets and liabilities among itself and one or more additional new entities, but may not thereby prejudice the rights of its creditors under existing laws. Delaware permits LLC and limited partnerships (but not corporation) to effect similar divisions. Recently businesses with mass tort liability litigation have used divisive mergers to apportion their assets and liabilities so that the litigation is allocated to a surviving new entity with limited assets, filed for bankruptcy, and the plaintiffs have challenged the actions in courts with mixed results. Hear a summary of the state of play in this zone.
