Absolutely. The O’Brien Law Firm can and often does represent out-of-state employees and contractors in disputes that must take place in Texas, either because of the circumstances of the employment or because a written term of employment states so. It’s not uncommon for an offer letter or employment agreement to state something to the effect of “All disputes concerning your employment must take place in ____ County, Texas, and will be determined under Texas law.” Those contract provisions – referred to as “venue” and “choice-of-law” provisions – are often enforceable. We routinely represent out-of-state clients in Texas-based cases.
