contracts in texas

If i signed a contract with ballys total fitness in the state of texas am i protected under the texas civil practices and remedies code with any debt that may have been accrued or do i follow the code of the state in which ballys is centrally located.

Your state laws govern normally.

I never recieved the summons, so now im having to get my information together before i challenge the judgment. Now i dispute this debt to begin with as far as i knew it was taken care of, but unforutantly i dont have that information any more given the time that has passed. Now i did find this in new york state law. I believe im interpreting it correctly but if anyone else has a different interpretation please tell me.

NY CPLR Article 2

S 202: Cause of action acrruing without the state (in other words a non state law suit). An action based upon a cause of action accruing without the state cannont be commenced after the expiration of the time limited by the laws of either the state or the place without the state where the cause of action accrued (in other words a law suit based on a brech of contract cannot occur after the statute of limitations of the state (new york which is six years) or the place without the state (the place other then new york state, which in this case would be texas where the contract was signed and where payment stopped which has a four year statute). So for this part basically since the contract was in 01 and ended in april of 03 the statue of limitations applies even in new york. Now the next part of this section has me confused i really cant understand it it reads "expcept that where the cause of action accred in favor of a resident of the state the time limited by the laws of the state shall apply. Can anyone explain this second part and verify my interpretation of the first.
