I'm surprised more businesses don't ban all of Texas as customers to prevent any litigation happening there.
Businesses are often the ones structuring agreements so that they can sue customers there and so that customers are forced to sue them there, so...that would seem counterproductive.
Even before considering the size of the market you’d be cutting off.
It's not that Texas is inconsequential. It's that the choice is "cut off Texas or risk the entire business in the other 49 states".
And because HN only allows me like 3 comments a day, I'd like to emphasize "can."
That doesn't seem like as big a deal, since TPM doesn't have a giant corporate headquarters to relocate and can cutting Texas from the TAM isn't that big of a deal.
