Abstract
This Article picks up where the 2007 legislative session ended-with the "Texas Amendments to Chapter 2" as then set out in a draft Bill and the accompanying Bill Analysis from the subcommittee of the Business Law Section. This Article examines selected statutory revisions that concern recurring or problematic issues under the current Chapter 2 and its proposed amendments, tries them on for size in light of Texas (and national) developments, evaluates criticisms of the amendments, and assesses whether the Texas Amendments to Chapter 2 fit the needs of a twenty-first century Texas.
