Experienced Houston Franchise Attorney

Texas franchise law, also termed franchising law, pertains to the permit or license that allows an individual or entity to market the goods or services of a company in a specific region or territory under the company's brand name or trademark. In the United States, franchising regulated by the federal courts as managed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Franchise is also commonly used to refer to a grant of the right to operate and share in the profits of a business or sell goods or services under a brand or chain name. Franchise is defined as “any contract between a refiner and distributor, a refiner and a retailer, a distributor and another distributor, or a distributor and retailer under which a retailer or distributor uses the trademark of an oil company in connection with the sale of motor fuel.” Franchise may mean the right one has to operate a store or sell goods or services under a franchise agreement.
