Texas Corporate Governance

As companies explore new opportunities for growth and efficiency, Texas has become a strategic option for corporate reincorporations due to its pro-business legal framework and tax advantages. Adding to Texas’ role as a major financial center, the Texas Stock Exchange, which Haynes Boone played a key role in establishing, is preparing to launch in 2026. Texas is now a more enticing destination for reincorporations than ever before.

These moves, though, come with complex legal, regulatory and operational decisions. Haynes Boone understands C-suite priorities and can help maximize the advantages Texas provides companies.

Haynes Boone’s Texas Corporate Governance Group offers comprehensive legal counsel for every stage of reincorporation, including weighing the benefits of Texas or Delaware based on your specific needs and long-term goals.

Our cross-collaborative team draws on decades of experience practicing throughout Texas. We provide integrated counsel on securities, corporate governance, executive compensation and other key areas. We help boards navigate proxy statement filings with the SEC, stockholder approvals and tax implications. Haynes Boone can also assist with real estate transactions, negotiate state and local incentives and manage all legal aspects of a move of headquarters to Texas, working with companies from the smallest, earliest-stage ventures to Fortune 20 companies.

Reincorporating in Texas also means understanding the evolving litigation landscape. Haynes Boone’s nationally recognized Litigation practice, including its Texas Business Courts Task Force, is uniquely positioned to guide clients through potential disputes, drawing on decades of experience in both Texas and Delaware courts.
