Watch what you sign . . .

LaFrance argued that he was not personally liable for a contract debt. But – “LaFrance signed his name on the agreement’s signature line labeled Borrower’s Signature.’ He did not indicate a representative capacity. In the section titled ‘Liability,’ the agreement states, ‘Although this agreement may be signed below by more than one person, each of the undersigned understands that they are each as individuals responsible and jointly and severally liable for paying back the full amount.’ Because the agreement’s language can be given a definite legal meaning and is not reasonably susceptible to more than one interpretation, the agreement is unambiguous.” EcoFriendly Water Co. v. Mercer, No. 05-18-00763-CV (May 2, 2019) (mem. op.).
