My husband and I are investing in a start up LLC in Texas. We will be 9% shareholders. By being a shareholder can our personal assets be seized to fulfill obligations incurred by the LLC?

If drafted correctly LLC stands for Limited Liability Company and thus, you should be shielded from any personal liability above what you agreed to contribute to the entity.

We would need to see the Investment and Shareholder Agreement and the LLC Formation documents in order to advise you on this question, but, usually, only to the extent of your capital contribution. However, sometimes they can. Again, I would need to review the documents.

You should never enter into an agreement, or contract, of any kind without allowing a qualified business attorney review them first.
