Texas Attorney General issued the following announcement on Nov. 9.
Attorney General Ken Paxton joined a coalition of 43 states and territories to support the Bankruptcy Venue Reform Act.

This can lead to rampant forum shopping by corporations filing in bankruptcy court jurisdictions that feature favorable laws.
Congressional passage of the Bankruptcy Venue Reform Act would curb such abuse.
