In the fast-paced Dallas-Fort Worth commercial real estate market, a business lease is more than just a contract; it’s the foundation of a company’s operations.

Our experience in handling high-stakes litigation for both parties provides us with a unique perspective, allowing us to anticipate the strategies of the opposing side and build a stronger case for you.

Our firm is committed to protecting your business from the disruptions and financial losses caused by these disputes.
Texas law provides specific protections for commercial tenants that prevent landlords from engaging in self-help remedies. Under Texas Property Code Sec. 93.002, a commercial landlord may not intentionally interrupt or cause the interruption of a tenant’s utility services unless the interruption results from bona fide repairs, construction, or an emergency. Similarly, under Texas Property Code Sec. 93.003, a landlord may not prevent a commercial tenant from entering the leased premises unless they have a specific right to do so in the lease, or the tenant has not paid rent. Even then, strict notice requirements must be followed. A wrongful eviction of commercial property in Texas can lead to significant liability for the landlord. We represent tenants who have been victims of such actions and seek to hold landlords accountable for their illegal conduct.
The end of a lease term can be a flashpoint for disputes. Disagreements can arise over the terms of a lease renewal option, the timing of notice to vacate, or the return of a security deposit. We provide strategic counsel on lease termination disputes in Dallas matters, ensuring that your rights are protected whether you are a landlord seeking to re-lease a property or a tenant preparing to move. Our attorneys are well-versed in the legal nuances of these transitions, helping to avoid litigation whenever possible.
Our firm understands the legal remedies available to parties in a commercial lease dispute. For a landlord, remedies may include eviction, a lawsuit for back rent and future rent under the lease, or the foreclosure of a lien on the tenant’s property. For a tenant, remedies may include recovering damages for a wrongful lockout, terminating the lease due to a landlord’s breach, or seeking injunctive relief to force a landlord to perform their obligations. We analyze the specifics of your case to determine the most effective legal pathway.
