Fischer v. CTMI, L.L.C.

Texas Supreme Court

Decided January 8, 2016No. 13-0977PublishedCited by 162 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtJustice Boyd

In this contract dispute between the seller and buyer of a business, the buyer contends that one of its payment - obligations is an unenforceable “agreement to agree.” We conclude that the payment provision is enforceable because its material terms are sufficiently definite to enable a court to determine the buyer’s obligation and provide a remedy for its breach. We reverse the court of appeals’ judgment and reinstate the trial court’s judgment.
