Where Your Case Will Be Heard

Tarrant County handles most commercial disputes in its district courts housed at the Tim Curry Justice Center, 401 W. Belknap Street, Fort Worth TX 76196. Judges in the 48th District Court and its peer courts hear everything from breach-of-contract suits to high-stakes partnership fallouts, and they run on a civil docket that moves faster than many larger metropolitan venues.

For matters involving at least ten million dollars in controversy or claims tied to securities, internal governance, or other complex corporate issues, the new statewide Business Court’s Eighth Division sits in Fort Worth. Its judges focus solely on business cases, can issue nationwide subpoenas, and follow streamlined discovery schedules designed to keep litigation costs in check.

Common Business Disputes in Fort Worth

Aerospace, logistics, health-care, and fintech firms now anchor the local economy, signing high-value vendor contracts, joint-venture agreements, and equity deals. That activity feeds a parallel rise in breach-of-contract suits, minority-shareholder oppression claims, and fiduciary-duty actions filed at the Tim Curry Justice Center and the Eighth Division of the statewide Business Court, both located downtown.

Roquemore Skierski guides Fort Worth companies through every stage of this litigation cycle, through preventive planning, emergency injunctions, arbitration, and trial, protecting cash flow and ownership stakes when disputes erupt.

Business Litigation Statutes for Fort Worth

Section 152.054 prohibits false or misleading statements that suggest someone is a partner when that is not true. Violations expose the speaker to liability if a third party relies on the misrepresentation.
Section 152.307 gives creditors who relied on that false representation every common-law remedy available for fraud, agency, or unjust-enrichment claims.
Chapter 153 clarifies that limited partners owe no general-partner duties, spells out dual-status rules for anyone who is both a general and a limited partner, and lists actions—such as acting as an officer or approving budgets—that do not strip limited-liability protection under Section 153.103.
Section 21.218 lets shareholders who have held stock for six months, or who own at least five percent of the shares, inspect and copy corporate books and records after making a written demand that states a proper purpose.
Section 21.401 places day-to-day control of a Texas corporation in its board of directors, which must balance short- and long-term interests when exercising the company’s powers.
