Texas must establish a court that is dedicated to efficiently adjudicating complex business disputes, writes Jason Villalba.Non-lawyers are often troubled by the fact that under both civil and criminal law, corporations are often treated the same as people for purposes of disputes, claims to property, ownership of assets, and due process, among other legal issues.
That is why in Texas, we have specialized family courts, probate courts, municipal courts and justice courts, among others, that ensure that your dispute will be heard by the most competent and capable arbiter available. Twenty-two other states in the Union have a specialized business court to deal with complex legal issues among companies. Delaware, New York, California, Florida, even Nevada, all have highly specialized and expertized courts that were designed and created specifically to solve the thorny and complex disputes among business parties.
Texas, unfortunately, has not followed the example of these other states. It is not because of the lack of expertise among the Texas judiciary. Our judges are some of the most capable and highly qualified jurists in the country. Nor is it because Texas lacks the will to find a way to streamline these business disputes into an efficient and fast-acting court, where disputes are settled quickly.
I know personally how important and impactful this legislation will be because I am both a business attorney who represents a number of large Texas companies and because I was thewhen I served as a member of the Texas Legislature.
