Bill Backstrom, a partner and leader of the firm's Tax Practice Group in the New Orleans office, was quoted in the Tax Notes article “Texas Court Finds Purchases of Loan Document Packages Taxable” on February 28, 2022. The article discusses a recent Texas sales tax case in which the court held that a law firm’s purchases of loan document packages were subject to Texas sales tax. Bill notes that this case is one of many in Texas to address what is considered a data processing service for purposes of Texas sales taxation, but explained that the case was unique because the court had to delve into what constitutes the unauthorized practice of law in Texas.
