• 2026 Tex. Bus. 38

Syllabus

The plaintiff signed an employment contract in 2021 agreeing to \relocate to [the] Dallas [area].\ Accordingly, he moved into a house in Southlake. In 2025, his family moved to Minnesota, and he rented an apartment in Irving. Both sides moved for summary judgment on the question of whether the plaintiff was in breach of the \relocate\ provision. The court denies the plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment arguing that his move Southlake in 2021 satisfied his relocation obligations. Those obligations exist for the duration of his employment. The court denies both motions to the extent that they seek a ruling as a matter of law as to the meaning of \relocate to Dallas\ and whether Lunderby complied with his relocation obligations. \Relocate\ is ambiguous, so those are questions a jury will have to answer.
