FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Key Legal Questions in Commercial & Business Litigation

How quickly can Mousilli Law secure an Emergency Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) in Texas?

In urgent commercial emergencies involving asset dissipation, immediate breach, or trade secret theft, our trial team can draft verified pleadings, post statutory bonds, and argue an emergency TRO before a Texas State District Judge or Federal District Judge within 24 to 48 hours.

What is the difference between shareholder oppression and breach of fiduciary duty in Texas?

Under Texas Supreme Court precedent (Ritchie v. Rupe), common-law claims for shareholder oppression in closely held corporations were narrowed, but minority owners maintain powerful derivative and direct claims for breach of fiduciary duty, self-dealing, ultra vires acts, and statutory accounting under the Texas Business Organizations Code.

How does Chapter 38 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code impact settlement leverage?

Chapter 38 allows prevailing plaintiffs to recover reasonable and necessary attorney's fees on contract claims. By serving a formal statutory presentment notice prior to filing suit, we establish fee-shifting leverage that forces adverse parties to evaluate settlement before legal fees escalate.
