One accident. One lawsuit. And your house could be on the line.
That’s the risk every independent oilfield contractor runs when they work without an entity. In West Texas, the money’s fast—but so is the liability.
I’ve seen too many good people lose everything over one bad job. Setting up an LLC isn’t paperwork. It’s protection.
Here’s why having an entity matters—and what to do next:
No entity? No shield.
You are personally liable.
Your home is exposed.
So are your savings.
Injuries can bankrupt you.
So can unpaid invoices.
Tax issues get messy fast.
Courts won’t wait for cleanup.
An LLC draws a legal line.
It protects your personal assets.
It simplifies tax and accounting.
It builds credibility with operators.
It helps you win better contracts.
And it lets you sleep at night.
Protect your work. Protect your family. Protect your future.
