To file a successful action for breach of contract, the plaintiff must demonstrate all of the following elements:

  • The presence of a legally binding contract. A contract must have an offer, acceptance of the offer, and consideration in order to be valid.
  • The plaintiff followed the contract’s provisions.
  • The defendant failed to fulfil the contract’s provisions.
  • There is proof of plaintiff injury as a result of the violation.

Your case must be in order to win. A major breach occurs when one party is deprived of the benefits for which the contract was made. The court will always consider many elements to determine whether or not the breach occurred. To be safe, you should hire a qualified Texas Breach of Contract Lawyer who is familiar with Texas contract law to present your case.

This is because the defendant may do all in his power to weaken your case by poking holes in your evidence. The defendant, on the other hand, could argue that there was never a genuine contract in the first place. Your attorney will be able to effectively argue your case while protecting your best interests if you have professional legal representation on your side.

What Is the Penalty for Contract Breach in Texas?

In Texas, breaching a contract can have serious penalties. Parties who prevail in breach of contract proceedings in Texas are entitled to be “made whole,” which normally entails monetary compensation known in the legal world as “damages.” To calculate damages, you must first analyses the contract terms. Most commercial contracts include provisions outlining the repercussions of one party breaching the contract’s terms.

In the absence of written provisions, the court will examine the monetary compensation or “damages” listed below:

  • Money lost as a result of a contract breach
  • Future earnings lost as a result of the breach
  • Compensation to the plaintiff for lost time
  • Attorney’s costs
  • Any additional damages specified in the contract

Is There a Statute of Limitations in Texas for Contract Breach Claims?

Yes, a statute of limitations is liable in Texas for breach of contract claims. The Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Chapter 16, states unequivocally that all claims of breach of contract have a four-year statute of limitations. As a result, normally, you must launch a case within four years of the breach. If you do not do so, you will be unable to submit such a case.

It is critical to contact a lawyer experienced in breach of contract lawsuits as soon as possible to assess if your case satisfies the time limit and to file your lawsuit on time.
