Writing about “Texas Corporate Developments: What Officers and Directors Need to Know” [PDF] in the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance, partners Hillary Holmes, Gerry Spedale, Gregg Costa and Ronald Mueller note that Texas has recently “attracted headline‑making redomestications, launched multiple nationally significant stock exchanges, and expanded the reach and influence of the Texas Business Court” — developments that “reflect Texas’s accelerating rise as a premier jurisdiction for corporate governance, capital formation, and high‑stakes commercial dispute resolution” and that signal the state’s emergence as an alternative to traditional corporate jurisdictions.
