The Texas state securities board is the latest government agency to pile onto Life Partners Holdings, with Texas Securities Commissioner Benette L. Zivley suing the life settlement provider for failing to respond to subpoenas issued by the State Securities Board.

The life settlement provider is suspected of misleading investors who invested in life insurance policies and not individuals who sold their life insurance policies to Life Partners.

The lawsuit asks the Travis County state district court to force Life Partners to respond to the subpoenas, which would require the company to divulge records of its marketing and sale of investments in life settlements.
