Massage Heights Franchising, LLC v. Hagman, No. 23-0996, 2025 WL 1271296 (Tex. May 2, 2025)

Submitted an amicus brief on behalf of the International Franchise Association in an important franchise law case before the Texas Supreme Court. Adopting the reasoning of the amicus brief, the Court reversed an adverse decision against a franchisor and clarified that, under Texas law, a franchisor can be held liable for the actions of a franchisee's employee only if the franchisor exercised specific control over the conduct allegedly causing the injury.
