Request Engagement AssessmentAcquisition Stars advises buyers and sellers on sell my business lawyer matters across Texas. Alex Lubyansky handles every engagement personally, bringing 15+ years of M&A experience to transactions of varying complexity, from lower-middle-market deals to multi-party structures. Texas has no state income tax, which can meaningfully affect net deal proceeds for sellers. The Texas Business Organizations Code provides flexible entity structures, and the state's franchise tax (Margin Tax) is a key consideration when structuring acquisitions. Whether you are acquiring a business, selling a company you have built, or navigating a complex transaction, the firm's approach is the same: one experienced attorney on every deal, no handoffs to junior associates.
Share the basics. Alex reviews every inquiry personally and responds within one business day.

Acquisition Stars represents clients in each of the following markets. Click any city to learn about business sale law services in that area.
Enforceable only if ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement. Mandatory reformation.
Enforceable only if ancillary to or part of an otherwise enforceable agreement under the Texas Business & Commerce Code Section 15.50-15.52 (Covenants Not to Compete Act). The covenant must contain limitations as to time, geography, and scope that are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than necessary. Texas courts must reform (not void) overbroad covenants to make them enforceable. The "ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement" requirement typically means the non-compete must be connected to consideration such as stock options, proprietary information access, or a sale of business.
Texas has no corporate income tax and no personal income tax. The state imposes a Franchise (Margin) Tax on entities with total revenue exceeding $2.47 million (2024 threshold), at rates of 0.375% (retail/wholesale) or 0.75% (other). As a community property state, spousal consent is required for transfers of community property business assets. The no-income-tax environment significantly affects deal structuring.
Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the Texas Secretary of State. Franchise tax (margin tax) compliance is required. The Comptroller's office handles tax clearance certificates for asset purchases. Public Information Reports are required annually.
Texas has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). However, Texas Tax Code Section 111.020 permits the Comptroller to impose successor liability on asset purchasers for the seller's unpaid franchise (margin) tax and sales tax. Buyers must request a tax clearance certificate before closing.
