If a Ledgers franchisee resides in Texas, does the State Addendum apply?

According to Ledgers's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the State Addendum to the Franchise Agreement applies only to individuals residing or operating a Ledgers franchise in specific states. These states are Michigan, California, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Rhode Island, Virginia, or Wisconsin.

Since Texas is not listed among the states to which the State Addendum applies, a Ledgers franchisee residing or operating in Texas would not be subject to the provisions of the State Addendum. This means that the standard terms of the Ledgers Franchise Agreement would govern the relationship between Ledgers and the franchisee in Texas, without any specific modifications or additions mandated by a state addendum.

Prospective franchisees in Texas should be aware that the absence of a state-specific addendum does not necessarily mean that their rights are unprotected. General federal and state laws regarding franchising may still apply. It simply means that there are no additional state-specific provisions altering the standard Ledgers Franchise Agreement.
