Question: Can text messages serve as a valid written contract in a business transaction involving the exchange of goods?

Answer: In a case involving a business transaction via verbal agreements or documented via text or email, this may potentially be sufficient for a legal claim, depending on the contents of the documents and details of the case. A recommended first step is to formally request the completion of services or payment from the other party via a demand letter. If you would like assistance in drafting a demand letter, you may schedule a call with an attorney.
