Lubbock Asset Protection Planning Attorneys
Texas is a place where people who owe money can go to escape their debts. For over a hundred years, the saying that someone “has gone to Texas” could mean they moved there, but it often meant they left their hometown to avoid paying their debts.
This tradition still exists today.
The Texas Constitution, the Business Organizations Code, and the Property Code have laws that allow individuals and businesses to create legally solid structures to protect their money and assets from a plaintiff taking them in a lawsuit.
These laws make Texas a good place for protecting your assets. Our Lubbock asset protection lawyers will help you understand this fascinating part of Texas history and how it applies to your assets.
