Peters Kussmaul Crosier represents Grapevine companies in acquisitions and sales, formation and relocation, customer and vendor contracts, outside general counsel work and business disputes.
Hospitality and retail lead Grapevine's economy. Visitors come for the Historic Main Street District, the Urban Wine Trail, Lake Grapevine and the convention center, and the city's economic development office targets retail, restaurants, hospitality, entertainment and Class A office. Its place beside DFW International Airport supports a sizable transportation and warehousing sector, and companies have moved their headquarters here from out of state. The legal work follows: event and vendor contracts, business sales and entity conversions.

Business Disputes in Grapevine
Grapevine is a Tarrant County city, and most business suits involving its companies go to the Tarrant County district courts in downtown Fort Worth. Its city limits also reach into Dallas and Denton counties, so a dispute tied to property there may belong in that county's courts. Federal cases arising on the Tarrant County side are heard in the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question that isn't answered here? Call us at (817) 631-8842 or send a message.
Ask a QuestionWhat should a Grapevine event venue's booking contract say about cancellations?
The deposit schedule, what is refundable at each stage, rescheduling, and events neither side controls, such as severe weather. Texas courts enforce a cancellation fee that reasonably estimates the venue's loss but can refuse one that works as a penalty. See service and vendor agreements.
How is inventory handled when a Grapevine retail store is sold?
It's usually counted at or just before closing and valued at the seller's cost, leaving out damaged or slow-moving goods. The price then moves up or down from an agreed target. See purchase agreements.
We moved our headquarters to Grapevine. Can the company stay a Delaware entity?
Yes. It can keep its Delaware charter and file a foreign registration with the Texas Secretary of State, which some investors prefer, or convert to a Texas entity so it deals with one state's filings and law.
