FlagI gave a guy $3750 to buy a gameroom in Houston,TX. This entitled me to 25% net profits to be paid out every two weeks. Its been two months and I havent received a dime. I have a copy of the contract he signed to purchase the gameroom, and an addendum stating my 25%, which I didn't sign, just kept for records. We had a verbal agreement and I have alot emails and texts messages to substantiate this. He is in TX and I'm in NC. I have his name, adress, bank info, and the supposed name and adress of the business. I have texts stating he was on his way to deposit my payout but never received it. What should I do next? Do I even have a case?
Yes, you have a case for the $3750 purchase price and your 25% of net profits. How long you get this net profit share, whether you're also entitled to an accounting of the net profits, whether your contract entitles you to attorney's fees to the prevailing party, and any other remedies, etc., depends on what exact language is in the contract you signed. That document should also contain a forum selection clause that specifies which state's law governs and in which court you have to sue.
If you haven't sued anyone before, see a business litigator for help.
