The article, which is titled, “The Missing Link to More Texas Entities,” discusses the need for Texas to establish a chancery court system to handle business-related legal matters involving Texas entities.

“Texas needs to establish a chancery court system to adjudicate sophisticated and complex business-related legal matters involving Texas entities, such as corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, and securities issues. The assurance of an efficient, knowledgeable, and stable forum in Texas for the resolution of those kinds of issues would encourage businesses and their advisers to organize in Texas,” Byron Egan wrote.
