Quote Quoting Taxing Matters
View Post
The rule in Texas is not like most other states. In most states, in a contract lawsuit, each side pays its own attorney’s fees unless the contract says the loser pays the winner’s legal fees. But in Texas, it is the reverse. So in Texas, unless the contract says otherwise, if you lose a contract dispute the court is likely to award the winner its reasonable attorney’s fees.
I thought that was the case but couldn't find an authority for it. Could you please cite one so I can add it to my reference material? Thanks.
