Disputes of Breach of Fiduciary Duty in Texas

Generally, there are three elements that, according to Texas state law, must hold for claim of breach of fiduciary duty to be found valid:

• It must be shown that the defendant did in fact have a fiduciary duty to the plaintiff.
• It must be shown that this fiduciary duty was indeed breached.
• It must also be shown that either the defendant benefited from this breach or the plaintiff was caused injury by it.

Fiduciaries owe beneficiaries of the trust or estate they administer loyalty, good faith, integrity, and strict accountability. This means that they should at all times behave in a fair, transparent and honest manner.
