Whom Do You Sue?

You may not realize it, but suing the right person is very important and not as easy as you think. Before you sue, you must determine the nature of the entity you are filing your claim against. Basically, there are three ways a person may do business. First, as a sole proprietor, second, as a partnership, third as a corporation.

To sue a sole proprietor, you file against the person running the business, no matter what name he or she is using. Suppose that Sara Smith opens a dress shop called "The Dress Shop." Who do you sue? The answer is Sara. To find out who "The Dress Shop" really is, check with the "assumed name" department in the county clerks office.

To sue a partnership you should get the names of the partners. Under the law, each of the partners is responsible for the obligations of the partnership.

To sue a corporation, on the other hand, you file against the corporation. A corporation is a separate legal entity. To properly sue a corporation you should first contact the secretary of state and find out who the "agent for service" is so that you know who to serve with the papers. Visit, http://www.sos.state.tx.us/, andf look at the "Business Filings" section to see if the business is listed. If it is, get the proper name of the business and the name of the registered agent. This is the person you will serve with your legal papers.

Once you have determined the proper legal entity to sue, make sure to get the full name and address. A small error in spelling or an incorrect address could cost you months when your papers cannot be served.

I don't know if this is the case here but it can be difficult to track down property owners through loop holes in the US. You can use different things like ownership trusts to obscure.

chucksta··on GM collects driver behavior data then sells access to insurance companies
You don't think there is tracking text or geo information that can identify you've had a convo with your friend and are going for a ride? That they can't identify acceleration habits between two people? It doesn't have to be perfect, its not like they're going to tell you how it works.

Learning to believe your own bullshit helps/confidence in what you're saying. You probably aren't nearly as bad as what you're telling yourself and trying to come off as in your post.

Plus time helps, 24 is still really young and underdeveloped relatively speaking, and you're already trying to improve :)
