CHAPTER 2. UNINCORPORATED JOINT STOCK COMPANIES
Art. 6133. SUIT IN COMPANY NAME. Any unincorporated joint stock
company or association, whether foreign or domestic, doing
business in this State, may sue or be sued in any court of this
State having jurisdiction of the subject matter in its company or
distinguishing name; and it shall not be necessary to make the
individual stockholders or members thereof parties to the suit.
Acts 1907, p. 240.
Art. 6134. SERVICE OF CITATION. In suits against such companies
or associations, service of citation may be had on the president,
secretary, treasurer or general agent of such unincorporated
companies.
Acts 1907, p. 240.
Art. 6135. JUDGMENT. In suits by or against such unincorporated
companies, whatever judgment shall be rendered shall be as
conclusive on the individual stockholders and members thereof as
if they were individually parties to such suits.
Acts 1907, p. 240.
Art. 6136. JOINT LIABILITY. Where suit shall be brought against
such company or association, and the only service had shall be
upon the president, secretary, treasurer or general agent of such
company or association, and judgment shall be rendered against
the defendant company, such judgment shall be binding on the
joint property of all the stockholders or members thereof, and
may be enforced by execution against the joint property; but such
judgment shall not be binding on the individual property of the
stockholders or members, nor authorize execution against it.
Acts 1907, p. 240.
Art. 6137. INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY. In a suit against such company
or association, in addition to service on the president,
secretary, treasurer or general agent of such companies or
association, service of citation may also be had on any and all
of the stockholders or members of such companies or associations;
and, in the event judgment shall be against such unincorporated
company or association, it shall be equally binding upon the
individual property of the stockholders or members so served, and
executions may issue against the property of the individual
stockholders or members, as well as against the joint property;
but executions shall not issue against the individual property of
the stockholders or members until execution against the joint
property has been returned without satisfaction.
Acts 1907, p. 240.
Art. 6138. THIS CHAPTER CUMULATIVE. The provisions of this
chapter shall not affect nor impair the right allowed
unincorporated joint stock companies and associations to sue in
the individual names of the stockholders or members, nor the
right of any person to sue the individual stockholders or
members; but the provisions of this chapter shall be construed as
cumulative merely of other remedies now existing under the law.
Acts 1907, p. 240.
