§ BC.24.010. EXTINGUISHMENT OF CAUSE OF ACTION

EXTINGUISHMENT OF CAUSE OF ACTION. (a) Except as provided by Subsection (b) of this section, a cause of action with respect to a fraudulent transfer or obligation under this chapter is extinguished unless action is brought: (1) under Section 24.005 (a)(1) of this code, within four years after the transfer was made or the obligation was incurred or, if later, within one year after the transfer or obligation was or could reasonably have been discovered by the claimant; (2) under Section 24.005 (a)(2) or 24.006 (a) of this code, within four years after the transfer was made or the obligation was incurred; or (3) under Section 24.006 (b) of this code, within one year after the transfer was made. (b) A cause of action on behalf of a spouse, minor, or ward with respect to a fraudulent transfer or obligation under this chapter is extinguished unless the action is brought: (1) under Section 24.005 (a) or 24.006 (a) of this code, within two years after the cause of action accrues, or if later, within one year after the transfer or obligation was or could reasonably have been discovered by the claimant; or (2) under Section 24.006 (b) of this code within one year after the date the transfer was made. (c) If a creditor entitled to bring an action under this chapter is under a legal disability when a time period prescribed by this section starts, the time of the disability is not included in the period. A disability that arises after the period starts does not suspend the running of the period. A creditor may not tack one legal disability to another to extend the period. For the purposes of this subsection, a creditor is under a legal disability if the creditor is: (1) younger than 18 years of age, regardless of whether the person is married; or (2) of unsound mind.
