Terms Used In Texas Business Organizations Code 200.162

  • Common law: The legal system that originated in England and is now in use in the United States. It is based on judicial decisions rather than legislative action.
  • Obligation: An order placed, contract awarded, service received, or similar transaction during a given period that will require payments during the same or a future period.
  • Real estate investment trust: means an entity governed as a real estate investment trust under Title 5. See Texas Business Organizations Code 1.002
  • Subscriber: means a person who agrees with or makes an offer to an entity to purchase by subscription an ownership interest in the entity. See Texas Business Organizations Code 1.002

The liability of a holder, beneficial owner, or subscriber of shares of a real estate investment trust for an obligation that is limited by Section 200.161 is exclusive and preempts any other liability imposed for that obligation under common law or otherwise.
