Securities AttorneyHow Texas Securities Law Affects Your Investment Fraud Claim
Texas securities law and FINRA rules place firm deadlines on investment fraud claims, and missing one can permanently close your path to recovery. The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Texas State Securities Board both regulate the securities industry. The Texas Securities Act governs how securities are offered and sold across the state and protects investors from deceptive practices.
Two deadlines are most important for Dallas investors:
- FINRA arbitration eligibility: Under FINRA Rule 12206, claims must generally be filed within six years of the events giving rise to the dispute.
- Texas fraud claims: Investment fraud claims brought under Texas law generally carry a four-year limitations period from when the fraud is discovered.
Dallas investors, including older investors who may struggle to travel, also benefit from a local FINRA arbitration hearing location, which means your case can be heard close to home.
How Investment Fraud Cases Work in Texas

Case Evaluation and Account Review.
Our attorneys examine your account statements, trade confirmations, and communications to identify misconduct and calculate exactly how much you lost. -
Step 2:
Filing the FINRA Arbitration Claim.

Step 3:
