Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Can I sue for merchandise paid for but not received, or what can I do?

I paid for a boat that was to be built. On Feb. 8 2007 I paid for the boat in full and was promised a boat in a shorter time period than if I were to just give half. Now it has been over 5 months and still no boat and all the explantion I can get is that he has no money to finish the boat. But he does have a new car, house,and 4 wheeler.

What are my options? Should I go pickup what he has, and seuw for the rest? Or do I try to seuw for the full amount plus lost revenue that I possibly would have made, and other expenses that I have had due to lack of contact on the builders part that otherwise would not have been spent if the boat were finished on time? I would really like to have the boat. I can't buy another for the $15200.00 that I paid.

What do you suggest?

Thanx

Re: Can I sue for merchandise paid for but not received, or what can I do?

There are a couple of options for you. The first question I have is whether you paid in cash or with a check. If you paid with a check, what is in the memo section. Probably won't be considered a criminal matter when it is a civil contract to build the boat. I recommend talking to Ryan B. Bormaster at my Firm. He has experience in this type of case and does not charge for initial consultations. You can email his assistant, Carrie Smith by sending an email to "[email protected]" She can arrange for you to speak with Mr. Bormaster free of charge. It may be that you don't need a lawyer at all or it may be you do. Mr. Bormaster will be able to answer this question for you and you can come up with a game plan together. Good Luck. Hope this helps.
