Additional Practice Areas
Where Your Case Will Be Heard
Commercial lawsuits that start in Mansfield are filed in the Tarrant County District Courts at the Tim Curry Justice Center in Fort Worth, TX. The 48th, 67th, 96th, 141st, 153rd, and 348th Texas District Courts hear breach-of-contract, partnership, shareholder, trade-secret, and fiduciary-duty disputes.
Mansfield businesses that meet the new Texas Business Court thresholds; five million dollars in controversy for internal-governance or securities matters, or ten million dollars for high-value contract claims, may file or move the case to the statewide Business Court’s Eighth Division, seated in Fort Worth. This specialised forum, operational since September 2024, employs judges who focus exclusively on complex corporate disputes and follow streamlined discovery rules, giving Mansfield litigants quicker access to merits rulings and statewide subpoena power.
Common Business Disputes in Mansfield
Recurring Mansfield business disputes include long term supply agreement quarrels triggered by sudden production schedule shifts, construction disputes as mixed use parks rise along U.S. 287 and State Highway 360, minority shareholder oppression claims inside closely held healthcare or manufacturing ventures, non-compete and trade secret enforcement actions aimed at high skill logistics or engineering talent, and vendor performance litigation linked to just in time delivery requirements.
Economic Development Incentives Driving Deal Flow
The Mansfield Economic Development Corporation finances growth with a half cent sales tax fund and Chapter 380 agreements that reimburse infrastructure costs or provide cash grants when a project delivers jobs and taxable value. In May 2025 the city council approved incentives worth up to eight million dollars to secure a 157,000 square foot Costco warehouse, a signal that large scale retail, distribution, and light industrial projects will continue to enter the local pipeline. These incentives often contain rigorous claw back clauses and milestone schedules; disagreements over job creation counts, construction timetables, or sales tax projections frequently ripen into Mansfield business disputes that require prompt legal attention
Key Texas Statutes Guiding Mansfield Business Disputes
- Texas Business Organizations Code section 152.054 forbids false statements that someone is a partner and creates direct liability if a creditor or customer relies on the misrepresentation.
- Section 152.307 extends every common law fraud, agency, and unjust enrichment remedy to those creditors.
- Section 153.103 enumerates safe harbor activities, such as approving budgets or serving as an officer, that do not strip limited liability protection from limited partners.
- Section 21.218 entitles shareholders who have owned at least five percent of the stock, or any shares for six months, to inspect and copy corporate records after a written demand stating a proper purpose.
- Section 21.401 vests day to day control of a corporation in its board of directors and instructs those directors to balance short and long term interests when exercising corporate powers.
Recent Judicial Decisions Affecting Mansfield Companies
- Walter Auto Loan Trust v. Mansfield Financing Group Inc., No. 4:23-cv-00974-P (N.D. Tex. 13 June 2024). The federal court entered a default judgment exceeding $483,000 dollars against a Mansfield based lender for failing to remit payments and vehicle titles under a floor plan agreement, underscoring the risk of ignoring procedural deadlines in commercial finance litigation.
- Arms of Hope v. City of Mansfield, Texas, 114 F.4th (5th Cir. 2024). The Fifth Circuit affirmed a preliminary injunction that blocked enforcement of Mansfield donation box ordinances, holding the rules likely infringed the nonprofit’s First Amendment rights. Municipal regulations that affect solicitation, advertising, or charitable partnerships now face heightened scrutiny, reshaping how local companies structure cause marketing campaigns.
