This fall, Torus Ventures LLC has fired off a barrage of new cases, hitting Directors Investment (Funeral Directors Life Insurance), EP Loya Group (Fred Loya Insurance Agency), First Texas National Bank, Fort Worth Urban Air, Germania General Agency, Golden Bank National, Gringo’s Mexican Kitchen No. 1, Globe Life, Guaranty Bank & Trust, Gulf States Financial Services, Higginbotham Insurance Group, Hotchkiss Insurance Agency, Incline Insurance Group, Insurance Agents Alliance of Texas, Insurvia (La Familia Agency), Interflex Payments, Invited Foundation, Iscential, Kleberg Bank, Landry’s Payroll, Legend Bank, Liberty Life Group Trust (Liberty Bankers Life Insurance), Lone Star National Bank, State Farm (Gainsco Auto Insurance Agency), and Texas National Holdings (First National Title Insurance), all in the Eastern District of Texas. Separate suits from the last Torus Ventures wave, filed in July in the same district—against Amarillo National Bank, American Bank Holding, American Financial & Automotive Services, Azuma Leasing, Brightline Dealer Advisors, Extraco, First National Bank of Sonora, and Industry Bancshares (First National Bank of Bellville)—have since been transferred elsewhere in Texas, the case against Azuma Leasing to the Northern District, where the plaintiff has yet to file a certified list of all parties financially interested in the outcome of the suit.
