What is Breach of Contract?

A contract is an agreement offered by one party and accepted by another. Contracts are almost always written documents in Texas, but it is not impossible to have an entirely oral contract. When a party does not fulfill its duties under a contract, the contract is said to be breached. Individuals and businesses may choose not to fulfill their contracts, but sometimes it may simply be impractical to do so. What happens after a breach of contract depends on the situation. Usually, the party who breached the contract is liable for damages the breach caused, and bringing the matter to court is sometimes needed to resolve this issue.
