Legal Question in Consumer Law in Texas
My gym has been playing religious specific music over the public speaker system for months now. I've been getting nowhere with talking to the manager or the owner. There is nothing that states that this is a religious affiliated gym except over the speaker system. Can I legaly get them to cancel my contract? They want to charge me $150 to cancel it but I feel like that's being kicked while I'm down. Is this a non-meeting of the minds that means a contract was never fully made, or can this be a lack of disclouser on their part that voids the contract? Please tell me what I can do to either cancel my contract or get them to stop playing the religious specific music and play something we all can enjoy.

Generally, a business has the right to play any kind of music it wants to.
But your contention would be: I signed up for a gym membership; I didn't sign up to be evangelized. You should write a letter (a PAPER letter, not an email, and don't make any phone calls): "I hereby cancel my contract effective
Send this letter to the main address, and if you have any other addresses (corporate office, etc.) send a copy to each such address. Keep a copy for yourself. Just for fun, show on the letter (at the bottom) that you have also sent a copy here:
