Breach Of Contracts And Legal Recourse
A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill their obligations as outlined in the agreement. This can happen in various forms, such as:
- Failing to deliver goods
- Not paying for services rendered
- Not adhering to the agreed timeline
When filing a case on breach of contract, consider the statute of limitations, which dictates the time frame within which you must take legal action. In Texas, the statute of limitations for most contract disputes is four years. However, this period can vary based on specific circumstances, such as the nature of the contract or any fraudulent activity involved.
Another important element is the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA). This act protects consumers and businesses from false, misleading or deceptive practices in forming contracts.
If you believe the other party engaged in deceptive practices, the DTPA can provide additional legal remedies. This could include recovering damages or voiding the contract altogether. A contract dispute attorney can help you understand how the DTPA applies to your situation and guide you through seeking justice.
