A big win for franchising in Texas.

A recent decision in the Massage Heights case clarified that a franchisor’s obligation to “exercise control” over brand standards does not automatically create liability for the actions of a franchisee’s employees.

Why does this matter?

Because it protects the integrity of the franchise model and reaffirms that system standards and brand consistency can coexist with the independence of franchise owners.

At Fisher Zucker, we’re proud to stand with franchisors in defending the structure that makes franchising thrive. This case is a reminder of why it’s essential to have counsel who understands the nuances of franchise law—and who will stand up for your brand when it matters most.

If you’re in franchising, this is a case you’ll want to read.
