If you have to prepare a demand letter in Texas, DoNotPay offers information that can help you resolve the problem as soon as possible.

Why Preparing a Demand Letter Could Help

While not required by Texas laws, sending a breach of contract demand letter is one of the most useful tactics to getting:

• The other party to fulfill their end of the deal
• Paid for the obligations you have performed under the contract

The letter is a good way to:

1. Remind the other party of contractual terms
2. Give them another chance to honor their commitment to the agreement
3. Inform them that you will seek damages and other remedies in court if they are not willing to discuss the matter

What Can Be a Result of a Demand Letter?

If you decide to send a demand letter before taking legal action, the following scenarios are possible:

How To Prepare a Quality Demand Letter in Texas

You can try to avoid lengthy and expensive legal proceedings by creating a convincing demand letter.

To ensure the breaching party takes you seriously, here is what you should do:

1. Stick to the facts and be polite—Keep in mind that what you specify in the letter and how you do that could harm you if it is not true or seems aggressive. If you do not want to find yourself in legal trouble, you should not use threats or anything else but the facts
2. Avoid presenting all evidence—While you should make the breaching party understand that you have evidence to support your claim, you might keep certain elements for a potential lawsuit. By stating all evidence, you could give the defendant material to help their case and hinder yours

Texas Statute of Limitations for a Breach of Contract

If you would like to initiate a lawsuit for a breach of contract, you need to check the latest statute of limitations, i.e., the deadline by which you can file a claim in your state.

In Texas, you can file a breach of contract claim within four years from the date when the breach happened. If this time has expired, you lose the right to take legal action against the breaching party.

Keep in mind that while a four-year time limit is a general rule for breach-of-contract situations, there are two exceptions to this rule:

• Fraudulent concealment—You can sue the breaching party when you discover the breach—regardless of when it occurred—if:
  • You did not know that the breach happened
  • The other contractual party concealed the breach from you
• Discovery rule—The statute of limitations starts once you discover injury or loss (caused by the breach) you should have otherwise learned about through reasonable diligence
