Establishing a paralegal partnership in Texas requires navigating strict boundaries between legal professional services and the Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL). Under Texas Business and Commerce Code § 26.01 and ABA Model Guidelines, your agreement must clearly delineate management control and the mandatory supervisory relationship with licensed attorneys. This document secures your joint venture by addressing Texas-specific community property impacts, professional liability, and profit-sharing models while ensuring every partner's work product—from legal research to deposition prep—remains compliant with State Bar regulations and DTPA consumer protections.
The agreement includes mandatory Management and Control clauses that explicitly state the partnership will not provide legal advice or services directly to the public without attorney supervision, adhering to Texas State Bar UPL Regulations and ABA Model Guidelines.
Texas is a community property state; therefore, the agreement includes specific Withdrawal or Death of Partner provisions and buyout terms to manage how partnership interests are handled during divorce or probate, preventing unintended asset dissolution.
