Agent Represents Principal
1997- Legal Entities
C - 55.06
An agent represents the principal for all purposes within the scope of the agent's actual or apparent authority. The principal has all the rights and liabilities resulting from acts of the agent as if the principal had acted.

A principal is responsible for acts of an agent, including wrongful and negligent acts or omissions, if the agent is acting in the scope of the agent's authority.

[An agent never has actual or apparent authority to act when it is known or suspected by the person dealing with the agent, that the agent is committing a fraud on the principal.]
