I have a UCC lien and lien enforcement called and threatened to come to my residence. There was a limited personal guarantee that states they would be allowed in terms of a default to review the assets. The company has been making this threat every two months or so but it is now weekly. They left a... Read more »

It's difficult to address this in an online forum. Many facts are missing. It smells like scam to me. "UCC Liens and Enforcement" is supposedly the name of the collector? Have they sent you anything in writing at all? If not, another red flag of scam, including the threatening phone... Read more »
Do I need to inform Texas and what is the way that I do that.
answered on Jan 28, 2023
You need to file a Certificate of Authority with the Texas Secretary of State to do business in Texas.
In Texas, you will be required to disclose the members and managers of your LLC.

I infer from your question that you want to sue manufacturers of tubeless tires claiming that you rightfully inherited your grandfather’s patent.
If so, you should consult a patent litigation attorney regarding your rights in this regard. Such an attorney may also go by the rubric... Read more »

Is there anything we can do?
She has no involvement in the business and has reached out directly to his partner to speak lies on him. They have been in business together for nearly 2 yrs now.

You could contact the mother in law and request that she stop calling your husband's business partner. If that does not work, you could hire an attorney to send a cease and desist letter. It sounds like there could be grounds for a defamation lawsuit based on slander.
my company name in Illinois is also the name of a company in another state. any recourse?
answered on Jan 25, 2023
The issue is the infringement of a trade name. Is your name registered with the USPTO? or anywhere? Is their name registered? If not, you need to get registered, if possible. There are some issues. However, there are some claims for rights that are common law. You may need a legal consultation.... Read more »

The business litigation attorneys here could offer the best analysis, but you await a response for two weeks. The short answer is that a contract signed by only one person could be enforceable. Some contracts could be in the form of a one-sided purchase agreement. If there's a significant... Read more »
A member has decided, of their own will, to leave the LLC. The LLC is in debt and doesn't have an operating agreement. Does the withdrawing member owe any money to the LLC as buying themselves out?
answered on Jan 24, 2023
Depends on the debt. Are they personally obligated? Is the business just in debt? Or does it have a positive fair market value? Typically, without an operating agreement, when a member quits the LLC pays fair market under TCA 48-249-505. But there are other considerations as well. Consult counsel... Read more »

You cannot retroactively change the name of the organizer once the entity is filed with the secretary of state. However, keep in mind that "organizer" does not mean that person is actually an owner of the company. It is simply the person or entity that files the articles.
Lease and rent are current and up to date.

This seemingly is a landlord-tenant issue. However, as a practical matter for business, if you have already signed a lease and been in it for 3 years, this appears to be out of their right to request.
However, I can see it making sense in two scenarios: if you have fallen behind and there... Read more »
I had a call with a customer to get him ten unusual trees for $10,000 which normally takes two month. The customer said he would give me extra $3,000 if I could get them for him one month earlier. I ordered five trees at $500 each with $1,000 express shipping. He then cancelled the order. I ordered... Read more »

Ah…the case of the wrong trees. I saw your questions on Avvo. You will have to contact a lawyer to evaluate your rights. Depending on the application of the UCC and the terms of your written contract, if any, you may or may not have several options available to you.
I wanted to start a business back in 2019. I went through the process of choosing the perfect name, narrowing down my niche, choosing products, etc.
While going through that, I had a "business savvy" boyfriend. He wanted to be a part of it, and quickly started trying to take... Read more »

Your question should be analyzed as whether property rights, or rights with respect to competition law, have arisen. Is there a copyright, whether or not registered? A potential claim for unfair competition? An outright theft of information? I cannot tell.
Frank had an oral agreement with Sam to sell 200 orange trees ($60 each) and then sent a signed note stating "I confirm your order of 200 orange trees ($60 each). 5 days later, Sam tried to call Frank cancel the order, but only reached Ben, Frank's employee who was just fired. Ben... Read more »

You should speak to a lawyer because ALL details and fine points matter for a correct analysis. Generally, if Frank and Sam are 'merchants' (business people), a set of certain rules will apply and dictate the analysis under the Uniform Commercial Code. This situation needs to be explored...

I had an oral agreement with a customer to plant 10 trees in her yard and provide five special cares (once a month) after the 6 months planting for $20,000 so the whole process is 1 year and 1 month.

You should speak to a lawyer because ALL details and fine points matter for a correct analysis. Generally, an oral agreement in many instances can also be valid (although never advisable).

I agree with Mr. Gribow. Consult a personal injury attorney who will review the contract you signed with the gym. If their machine was defective they cannot just tell you they're not liable. You usually cannot waive liability for their negligence or for a defective product.
