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.
