Important use information

Read before using this Tool

These limits remain part of the Tool, but they no longer interrupt the main form.

This free tool is adapted from Riley Epperson’s Keep ’Em Coming Back series for general educational and planning use. It is not legal, tax, financial, medical, insurance, engineering, emergency-response, or other professional advice. Laws, platform rules, rates, and requirements change. Verify current requirements and consult the appropriate qualified professional before relying on it.

Attorney review required: This is a starting draft or discussion worksheet, not a binding contract or lawyer-drafted release. Have a qualified Texas attorney review and tailor the final document before anyone signs or relies on it. Each party should obtain independent advice when appropriate.

Money and tax caution: Figures, pricing, tax treatment, worker classification, and business structures depend on the facts. Review them with a qualified CPA, tax professional, and attorney where relevant.

Safety and regulatory caution: Do not use this page as a substitute for emergency services, venue-specific safety planning, current TABC guidance, your insurer, counsel, or local authorities. In an emergency, contact 911 and follow official instructions.

Browser-local storage: Entries are not submitted, uploaded, or emailed to the website. To protect work from accidental loss, this page saves entries in this browser’s local storage. Use “Delete saved data” when finished, especially on a shared device. Do not enter sensitive or confidential information.
