Beaumont Contract Law Frequently Asked Questions
We will always answer your questions before moving forward, and some of the most common questions people ask us include:
How long does it take to resolve a contract issue?
The timeline for resolving a contract issue can vary widely depending on factors such as the case’s complexity, the parties’ willingness to negotiate, and the need for legal proceedings. Your lawyer will provide a more accurate estimate based on the specifics of your situation.
What should I bring to my initial consultation?
Bring any relevant documents related to the contract to make the most of your initial consultation. This may include existing contracts, correspondence, and any other pertinent information.
Are there any unique contract laws or regulations in Beaumont that I should know?
While contract law is largely governed by Texas state law, it’s important to know any local ordinances or industry-specific regulations that may impact your contract in Beaumont. A qualified Beaumont contract lawyer can guide you in this regard.
How long do I have to change my mind after I sign a contract?
You are legally bound by its terms once you’ve put your signature on a contract. While there’s a common misconception that you can reconsider and change your mind within three days after signing, this isn’t the legal norm in most cases.
There are only a limited number of situations in which you have the right to change your mind, often referred to as a “right of rescission” or a “cooling-off period.” Particular statutes specify the duration of this period. Some instances where cancellation is allowed include specific door-to-door sales, timeshare purchase agreements, or service contracts/extended warranties.
Does a contract have to be in writing?
No, a contract generally doesn’t have to be written to be legally binding, and you can enforce a verbal agreement if both parties intend to be legally obligated by it.
Nevertheless, certain types of contracts must be in written form. These include contracts for real estate leases lasting over a year, sale of real estate, sales of goods exceeding $500, oil & gas leases/royalties, and others falling under the “statute of frauds.”
Even when a written contract is not obligatory, having one is often essential. A written agreement need not be elaborate or formal and can even be handwritten. It should outline the terms of the agreement and be signed by both parties. Even communications via email in which the parties confirm the agreement or an informal note jotted on a napkin outlining the deal can be considered a valid written contract.
Do I need a lawyer to be able to write a contract?
While it’s not mandatory to have a lawyer create a contract, many new business owners turn to internet-downloaded templates for drafting terms, conditions, and other contractual agreements. While being cautious about expenses is wise, choosing low-cost or generic templates can result in substantial risks and disputes, ultimately consuming more time and finances. At Weisblatt Law Firm, PLLC, our extensive experience enables us to pose the right questions and assist our clients in establishing the necessary operational documents that preempt many future issues.
What makes a contract enforceable and legally binding?
According to Texas law, a valid contract necessitates the following four components:
- An offer
- Acceptance of the offer
- A mutual understanding (where both parties genuinely agree)
- Reciprocal consideration (where both parties exchange something of value, like money for a service).
Even if these elements are present, a contract could still be deemed invalid if the involved parties lack legal competence. This includes minors, adults with incapacities, or adults under the influence of substances impairing their judgment who may not engage in a legally binding agreement. Additionally, if the subject matter of the contract is illegal, it cannot be considered a valid and enforceable contract.
These may not be your only questions; our attorneys will discuss your specific concerns in your initial consult.
