Construction Company’s $1.2M Breach-of-Contract Lawsuit Against Rankin ISD Dismissed Due to Nondisclosure of Expensive Gifts to District Officials

Texas Eighth Court of Appeals (El Paso)
Ruling: A construction company — that an ISD abruptly ordered to stop work on a multi-million dollar facilities project — can’t pursue a breach-of-contract lawsuit against the district because the company failed to make the state-law required disclosures of expensive gifts it gave several district officials prior to being awarded the contract.
