Good contracts lay out the rules for conducting business. Both parties who enter into a contract may have differing views on the terms of an agreement.

When A Breach Of Contract Occurs

A contract is a legally binding agreement between two or more parties that creates mutual obligations. A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill their promised duty under that agreement without a valid legal excuse. This includes failing to perform on time, failing to
perform according to the terms and completely refusing to honor the deal.

Parties can resolve breach of contract issues in a variety of ways – in court, at the negotiating table or through mediation. The lawyers at , serving Texas clients from Houston to San Antonio, have successfully represented clients’; interests in all these venues.

Equitable Remedies And The Strict Statute Of Limitations In Texas

When a commercial agreement falls apart, legal action helps minimize your business’s financial exposure. If financial compensation alone cannot fix the underlying damage, Texas courts have the authority to grant alternative equitable remedies:

• Specific performance: A direct court order forces the breaching party to fulfill its exact contractual duty. Courts typically utilize this rare remedy when the subject matter is entirely unique, such as commercial real estate or company shares.
• Rescission: This option effectively terminates the agreement. It cancels the contract completely and legally restores both parties to the financial positions they held before the deal ever existed.

However, you must act quickly to secure these remedies. In Texas, the statutory deadline to take action is strict. You usually have four years from the exact day the breach occurred. While four years may sound like a long time, business records are frequently lost, memories fade and
critical assets can disappear. Waiting too long can permanently bar you from recovering what you are legally owed.

What Damages Can You Recover In A Texas Breach Of Contract Case?

The primary goal of a breach of contract lawsuit is to make your business whole again. Depending on the specifics of your agreement and the nature of the violation, our attorneys may pursue several types of recoverable damages on your behalf:

• Compensatory damages: Reimbursement designed to cover your direct financial losses, including expectation damages (the benefit you expected from the completed contract) and consequential damages (indirect losses like lost profits).
• Liquidated damages: A predetermined financial penalty written directly into your agreement that dictates a specific, agreed-upon amount to be paid immediately if a breach occurs.
• Attorney’s fees: Legal compensation shifts the financial burden of the lawsuit, meaning the court can force your opponent to cover the costs of your legal representation if you win.

Our legal team will thoroughly analyze your contract and financial records to ensure we pursue every dollar of compensation you are legally owed.
