Texas Sanctioned Cox For Violation Of Regulation Best Interest
Evidently, on January 8, 2026, the Texas State Securities Board issued Case: REG-26-CAF-01 sanctioning Logan Cox for infractions. Notably, the regulator alleged that Cox violated Regulation Best Interest by failing to properly evaluate costs when recommending investments.
According to the findings, Cox recommended that at least two clients purchase an alternative investment financed through securities-based lines of credit with interest rates exceeding seven percent.
