Frequently Asked Questions
What constitutes a breach of contract under Texas law?
A breach of contract in Texas occurs when one party fails to perform any duty or obligation specified in a valid contract. This includes failing to perform on time, not performing in accordance with the terms, or refusing to perform at all. To prove breach of contract, you must demonstrate: (1) a valid contract existed, (2) you performed or were excused from performing your obligations, (3) the other party failed to perform their obligations, and (4) you suffered damages as a result. Breaches can be material (going to the heart of the agreement) or minor, which affects available remedies.
