Frequently Asked Questions: Contract Law in Texas
At The Umeh Law Firm, we understand that navigating contract law can be challenging. Our FAQ section addresses common questions about contract formation, enforcement, breaches, and dispute resolution in Texas.
01
What makes a contract legally binding in Texas?
For a contract to be legally binding in Texas, it must meet certain requirements: an offer, acceptance of the offer, mutual agreement (a "meeting of the minds"), consideration (something of value exchanged), and a lawful purpose. Both parties must also have the legal capacity to enter into the agreement.
03
What should I do if the other party breaches a contract?
If a contract is breached, you should first review the terms of the agreement to determine your rights and remedies. Then, consult with an attorney to discuss options such as negotiating a settlement, demanding performance, or pursuing legal action in court to recover damages.
02
Can a verbal contract be enforced in Texas?
Yes, verbal contracts can be enforceable in Texas. However, certain types of contracts, such as those related to real estate, goods over $500, and contracts that cannot be performed within one year, must be in writing to be legally binding under the Texas Statute of Frauds.
04
How long do I have to file a lawsuit for a breach of contract in Texas?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a breach of contract lawsuit is four years from the date of the breach. For oral contracts, the limit is typically two years. It’s essential to act promptly to preserve your legal rights.
