Judicial Winding Up

By Tim Nichols

In plain English

A court-ordered process to conclude a company's affairs, address obligations, and distribute remaining assets before termination. Texas law permits it for LLCs on specified grounds. It can threaten the entire business and is different from simply removing one owner or ordering an ordinary negotiated buyout.
