Q: Can I sue based on Liberty's actions: I had a gas lease agreement to which liberty Utilities fails to provide any notice
Liberty Utilities fails to provide any notices within a 24 hour time of notice when they appear to vacate property without any such work. This company has continued to breach our agreement concerning no kind of notices within a 24 hour period before coming on the property. They refused to make payment on 03/24/2023
A: I assume that since you reference a utility company that the agreement you have with them is an easement. It's unusual for a utility easement to require advance notice to the land owner to come on vacant land to do work, and especially if the utility believes the work may be needed for a safety issue. At any rate, the best place to determine what your rights are in response to a violation of the agreement is the language of the agreement itself. If the easement or contract does not give you any rights, you might contact the Texas Public Utilities Commission to see if they can be of assistance. If that does not work, then you will need to consult an attorney to determine if there are any court cases or statutes that provide remedies for you.
