Texas — Mota v. Beacon Bay Asset Mgmt. LLC, 3:17-cv-1862, decided 5/30/18.  The U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas held that while the court lacked statutory authority to appoint counsel for an LLC that could not afford it, as the statute only permits such an appointment for individuals, the court’s inherent powers encompass the appointment of counsel for an LLC in exceptional circumstances. (Although the court found that such circumstances did not exist here).
