Ask a Question

Part of Mansfield lies in Johnson County. If our company is there, which court would hear a suit against it?

Often the Johnson County district courts in Cleburne, since Texas venue usually follows where the events took place or the county of the defendant's principal office. In a major transaction, a venue clause in the contract can also control.

We're buying a Mansfield manufacturer whose biggest customer contract has a change-of-control clause. What does that mean for the deal?

The customer may be able to approve the sale or end the contract when ownership changes, even in a stock purchase. Get its written consent before closing or make consent a closing condition. See due diligence.

A customer says goods stored in our Mansfield warehouse were damaged. Are we liable?

Texas law holds a warehouse liable for loss caused by its failure to use reasonable care, but the storage agreement or warehouse receipt can cap that liability and set deadlines for claims. See service agreements.
