Understanding the Texas Business & Commerce Code

Contract law in Texas is governed by a combination of common law principles and the Texas Business and Commerce Code. To win a breach of contract case, a plaintiff must demonstrate that a valid contract existed, that they fulfilled their own obligations, and that the defendant’s breach resulted in quantifiable damages. This requires a meticulous level of documentation and a deep understanding of how Texas courts interpret "materiality."

Sometimes, a contract dispute is not merely about a failure to perform but involves more malicious intent. In these instances, we may also pursue claims related to wrongful interference with commercial relations. By combining contract law with tort representation, we provide a holistic defense for your business interests. We analyze every clause, from non-compete agreements to force majeure provisions, to find the leverage needed to secure a favorable outcome for our clients.

The Duty to Mitigate and Recoverable Damages

One often overlooked aspect of contract disputes is the "duty to mitigate." In Montgomery County, as in the rest of Texas, the law requires an injured party to take reasonable steps to minimize their losses after a breach has occurred. If you fail to take these steps, a court may limit the amount of damages you can recover. Our firm provides the guidance necessary to navigate these post-breach requirements, ensuring that your right to full compensation remains intact.

Damages in these cases can range from direct financial losses to consequential damages that were foreseeable at the time the contract was signed. Additionally, under Texas law, the prevailing party in a breach of contract suit is often entitled to recover their reasonable attorney's fees. This provision serves as a powerful deterrent against frivolous defenses and encourages fair settlements. We fight to ensure that our clients are not only compensated for their losses but are also reimbursed for the cost of seeking justice.
