Legal Question in Business Law in Texas

personal responsibility for employers bills

I am a hotel manager and work for an owner that signs and sends out checks after we send him the invoices to pay. I am not an owner or officer for the hotel just an employee. My owner is slow to pay bills. I have one bill for some water extraction that was done for $23k. The company is going to sue me since i signed the work order to extract the water unless my owner pays the bill. Do I need to worry or are they just threatening me to see if that gets them paid?

Re: personal responsibility for employers bills

They may sue you, since all it takes is the filing fee. I doubt that they can hold you responsible. As a practical matter, if you sign for your employer, always add your title so there's no question you are signing in your representative capacity and not personally.
