Under Texas Business Organizations Code Section 9.251, all 16 items. Texas has NO order-solicitation safe harbor, which is a uniform-act staple: the nearest item covers sales through an independent contractor only, not solicitation by the entity's own employees. Texas adds mineral-interest, division-order, mortgage-servicing, fiduciary and governing-person carve-outs. Section 9.252 states separately that the list is not exclusive. There is no tax or service-of-process disclaimer in the statute.
