Partnership Structures

Partnerships in Texas can be structured in more than one way. For example, a partnership can be a limited partnership or a limited liability partnership. The partnership agreement governing the partnership does not have to be filed with the Texas secretary of state, but with a limited partnership, the certificate of formation must be filed and with a Texas limited liability partnership, the entity must be registered with the secretary of state.

Partnership agreements address issues such as the term of the partnership, the amount of capital investment, how profits and losses are distributed, salaries, management duties, what happens upon the death of a partner, partner authority and how disputes are handled. Without a partnership agreement, a business is at risk for failure. It is imperative that business partners understand fully their individual rights and obligations regarding their business venture in order to settle disputes that arise in everyday business matters. In the absence of an agreement, the parties run the risk of allowing state law to dictate how your business runs. Don’t let this happen to your business!

Necessary Actions To Protect Your Business

If a partner breaches the agreement, resolution can be had through a suit for damages in the name of the business. In the event of breach of the agreement by a partner, the other partners can choose to allow the partner to stay a partner, expel the partner under the terms of the agreement, or file suit against him.
