Frequently Asked Questions
What is tortious interference with a business relationship?▾
Tortious interference occurs when a third party intentionally disrupts an existing or prospective business relationship — poaching clients, sabotaging contracts, or spreading false information to damage business relationships.
Can I get a temporary restraining order in a business dispute?▾
Yes. Texas courts issue emergency TROs when irreparable harm is occurring — theft of trade secrets, breach of a non-compete, misappropriation of business assets. An attorney can obtain same-day relief in appropriate cases.
What is shareholder oppression in Texas?▾
Oppression occurs when majority shareholders use their control to harm minority shareholder interests — freezing out minorities from dividends, management, or employment while taking benefits for themselves.
How long do commercial cases take in Travis County?▾
Travis County District Courts handle commercial cases in 12–24 months for typical matters. Complex cases with extensive discovery can take 2–4 years. Mediation often resolves cases earlier.
