Keller Breach of Contract Lawyer

Every successful business depends on clear agreements. Contracts define expectations, control risk, and make collaboration possible. When one party fails to honor its obligations, that trust breaks down, and the consequences can reach every part of a company’s operations. In Keller, where industries like healthcare, construction, logistics, and professional services all intersect, a single contractual failure can disrupt production schedules, client relationships, and future growth.

 

If you are dealing with a contract dispute, whether you need to enforce an agreement or defend against a breach claim, Roquemore Skierski PLLC can help. Our practice is dedicated to business and commercial litigation. We represent Keller business owners and companies through every stage of a dispute, including negotiation, mediation, trial, and arbitration. We prepare each matter with the thoroughness it deserves, because careful preparation is what drives results in and out of the courtroom.

 

Our attorneys have handled contract litigation in Tarrant County and throughout Texas. We understand how to prove breach claims, present damages in a way that makes sense to judges and juries, and protect our clients’ financial and business interests at every stage of the process.

Why Keller Businesses Rely on Roquemore Skierski PLLC

When your company’s future is tied to a contract, experience matters. Many attorneys focus primarily on drafting and transactional work, but our firm is built around litigation and dispute resolution. We help businesses protect what they have earned when performance breaks down.

 

Litigation experience is essential even in cases that settle before trial. Every dispute passes through motion practice, discovery, and hearings that demand strategic focus and trial readiness. We have taken breach of contract cases to verdict and arbitration award, and we use that experience to strengthen your position long before a trial date is set. When opposing counsel sees that your case is fully prepared, meaningful settlement discussions often follow.

Common Keller Contract Disputes We Handle

  • Failure to deliver goods or services
  • Service and technology agreements
  • Commercial construction and development project disputes
  • Partnership, shareholder, and LLC operating agreement disputes
  • Mergers and acquisitions disputes

In each case, we evaluate the contract language, applicable law, and business realities to develop a strategy that protects your company’s rights while minimizing disruption.

Breach of Contract in Texas: Understanding the Law

A breach of contract is more than a broken promise—it is a legal claim with specific elements that must be proven. To succeed on a breach of contract case in Texas, a claimant must establish that:

  1. A valid and enforceable contract existed;
  2. The claimant performed or had a lawful excuse for nonperformance;
  3. The opposing party failed to perform its obligations; and
  4. The claimant suffered damages as a result.

Proving these elements requires clear documentation, witness testimony, and a well-developed theory of damages. Our attorneys guide clients through each stage, ensuring that their evidence and arguments align with the legal standards Texas courts apply.

Types of Breaches and Their Impact on Your Case

Different breaches call for different legal responses. Texas law recognizes several forms of contract breach, each with its own implications.

  • Actual breach: A direct failure to perform, such as missing deadlines, failing to pay, or not delivering promised goods or services.

  • Material breach: A serious violation that defeats the essential purpose of the agreement, often justifying termination and full recovery of damages.

  • Anticipatory breach: A situation where one party clearly communicates before performance is due that it will not meet its obligations, allowing the other side to act immediately.

Identifying which category applies helps determine what remedies are available and how best to pursue them.

Legal Remedies Available in Texas Contract Disputes

When a contract is breached, Texas law provides several remedies designed to restore fairness and protect the injured party.

  • Compensatory damages cover the financial loss directly caused by the breach.

  • Specific performance may be ordered when money cannot replace what was lost, such as with unique goods or real estate.

  • Rescission and restitution allow the contract to be canceled and both parties restored to their original positions.

  • Attorney’s fees are often recoverable by the prevailing party in written contract claims under Section 38.001 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, which applies to for-profit business entities and can shift the balance of settlement negotiations.

When goods are involved, the Texas Uniform Commercial Code provides additional remedies, allowing buyers to reject nonconforming shipments or revoke acceptance when hidden defects appear. Acting promptly is key to preserving these rights.

Do Most Keller Breach of Contract Cases Go to Trial?

While some cases must be tried to conclusion, most contract disputes in Keller are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or summary judgment. Even so, effective trial preparation is critical. When the other side sees that your evidence is organized, witnesses are ready, and legal arguments are sound, they are far more likely to settle on favorable terms. That readiness often makes the difference between compromise and full recovery.

Throughout the case, we maintain open communication, explain the risks and benefits of each strategy, and pursue resolutions that protect your company’s finances and relationships while preserving your right to trial if needed.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ's

Texas law sets strict filing windows. For most written contracts and fiduciary-duty claims, the deadline is four years from the date of breach. For claims involving fraud, negligent misrepresentation, or conversion, the period is only two years. Courts rarely make exceptions. In some cases involving continuing obligations or concealed misconduct, the timing may be complex, which is why early legal review is essential.

If your business is facing immediate harm—such as assets being diverted, customers being poached, or confidential information being misused—courts in Tarrant County can issue a temporary restraining order within days, and in urgent cases, even the same day. The court will then schedule a hearing to decide whether to extend that protection. The more organized and persuasive your evidence, the more likely a judge is to act swiftly.

Yes. Under Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 38.001, a prevailing party on a written contract can recover reasonable attorney fees against any for-profit business entity. This rule gives plaintiffs significant leverage because defendants know that if they lose, they may be required to pay not only damages but also legal costs on both sides.

Texas does not cap damages for breach of contract. Plaintiffs can recover expectation damages, consequential losses that were foreseeable, and incidental expenses caused by the breach. The limiting factor is proof. Courts require damages to be shown with reasonable certainty and will not award speculative profits. Well-prepared financial records and expert testimony often make the difference.
