• Can a 501 3(c) Non-Profit organization's DBA name be switched to an LLC corporation with a new name?

  Asked in Missouri City, TX | November 16, 2025

  The DBA's Domain name is set for an online E-Commerce store presently operating out of my home.  It is designed for selling/marketing products to raise capital for funding the Non Profit program components. We are striving to raise funding for procuring a Brick and Mortar place for selling the products and implementating the program components. How can the new name for the Brick and Mortar place be formed as an LLC , and submit form for abandonment of the DBA name?

• Does a Texas LLC need an attorney for a Burnet County JP appeal/bench trial?

  Asked in Burnet, TX | May 27, 2026

  I own an LLC in Texas. The company won a JP/small claims case involving a residential gutter installation dispute, but the plaintiff appealed to the county court in Burnet County, Texas. The case is now set for a bench trial, and the plaintiff has hired an attorney. The work at issue was done before I became the current owner of the company. I need to know: Can a Texas LLC appear in county court through its owner, or must it be represented by a licensed Texas attorney? If the plaintiff appeals from the JP court, is the county court trial a de novo trial? What are the most urgent first steps before the bench trial? Should we consider filing a counterclaim for unpaid invoice, breach of contract, attorney’s fees, or another claim if the company has damages? Should we request a continuance if we need time to hire counsel or tender the claim to our insurance carrier? Does my status as the new owner help protect me personally if I was not the owner when the work was performed? The claim amount is approximately $15,000, so I am trying to keep legal costs under control while still protecting the LLC.
