TX Bus & Com Code § 2.106 (2021)
2021 Texas Statutes|Business and Commerce Code|Title 1 - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 2 - Sales|Subchapter A. Short Title, General Construction and Subject Matter|Section 2.106. Definitions: "Contract"; "Agreement"; "Contract for Sale"; "Sale"; "Present Sale"; "Conforming" to Contract; "Termination"; "Cancellation"

Sec. 2.106.  DEFINITIONS:  "CONTRACT";  "AGREEMENT";  "CONTRACT FOR SALE";  "SALE";  "PRESENT SALE";  "CONFORMING" TO CONTRACT;  "TERMINATION";  "CANCELLATION".  (a)  In this chapter unless the context otherwise requires "contract" and "agreement" are limited to those relating to the present or future sale of goods.  "Contract for sale" includes both a present sale of goods and a contract to sell goods at a future time.  A "sale" consists in the passing of title from the seller to the buyer for a price (Section 2.401).  A "present sale" means a sale which is accomplished by the making of the contract.(b)  Goods or conduct including any part of a performance are "conforming" or conform to the contract when they are in accordance with the obligations under the contract.(c)  "Termination" occurs when either party pursuant to a power created by agreement or law puts an end to the contract otherwise than for its breach.  On "termination" all obligations which are still executory on both sides are discharged but any right based on prior breach or performance survives.(d)  "Cancellation" occurs when either party puts an end to the contract for breach by the other and its effect is the same as that of "termination" except that the cancelling party also retains any remedy for breach of the whole contract or any unperformed balance.|Acts 1967, 60th Leg., p. 2343, ch. 785, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1967.|

Sec. 2.107.  GOODS TO BE SEVERED FROM REALTY:  RECORDING.  (a)  A contract for the sale of minerals or the like (including oil and gas) or a structure or its materials to be removed from realty is a contract for the sale of goods within this chapter if they are to be severed by the seller but until severance a purported present sale thereof which is not effective as a transfer of an interest in land is effective only as a contract to sell.(b)  A contract for the sale apart from the land of growing crops or other things attached to realty and capable of severance without material harm thereto but not described in Subsection (a) or of timber to be cut is a contract for the sale of goods within this chapter whether the subject matter is to be severed by the buyer or by the seller even though it forms part of the realty at the time of contracting, and the parties can by identification effect a present sale before severance.(c)  The provisions of this section are subject to any third party rights provided by the law relating to realty records, and the contract for sale may be executed and recorded as a document transferring an interest in land and shall then constitute notice to third parties of the buyer's rights under the contract for sale.|Acts 1967, 60th Leg., p. 2343, ch. 785, Sec. 1, eff.

Sec. 2.201.  FORMAL REQUIREMENTS;  STATUTE OF FRAUDS.  (a)  Except as otherwise provided in this section a contract for the sale of goods for the price of $500 or more is not enforceable by way of action or defense unless there is some writing sufficient to indicate that a contract for sale has been made between the parties and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought or by his authorized agent or broker.  A writing is not insufficient because it omits or incorrectly states a term agreed upon but the contract is not enforceable under this paragraph beyond the quantity of goods shown in such writing.(b)  Between merchants if within a reasonable time a writing in confirmation of the contract and sufficient against the sender is received and the party receiving it has reason to know its contents, it satisfies the requirements of Subsection (a) against such party unless written notice of objection to its contents is given within ten days after it is received.(c)  A contract which does not satisfy the requirements of Subsection (a) but which is valid in other respects is enforceable(1)  if the goods are to be specially manufactured for the buyer and are not suitable for sale to others in the ordinary course of the seller's business and the seller, before notice of repudiation is received and under circumstances which reasonably indicate that the goods are for the buyer, has made either a substantial beginning of their manufacture or commitments for their procurement;  or(2)  if the party against whom enforcement is sought admits in his pleading, testimony or otherwise in court that a contract for sale was made, but the contract is not enforceable under this provision beyond the quantity of goods admitted;  or(3)  with respect to goods for which payment has been made and accepted or which have been received and accepted (Section 2.606).|Acts 1967, 60th Leg., p. 2343, ch. 785, Sec. 1, eff.

Sec. 2.204.  FORMATION IN GENERAL.  (a)  A contract for sale of goods may be made in any manner sufficient to show agreement, including conduct by both parties which recognizes the existence of such a contract.(b)  An agreement sufficient to constitute a contract for sale may be found even though the moment of its making is undetermined.(c)  Even though one or more terms are left open a contract for sale does not fail for indefiniteness if the parties have intended to make a contract and there is a reasonably certain basis for giving an appropriate remedy.|Acts 1967, 60th Leg., p. 2343, ch. 785, Sec. 1, eff.

Sec. 2.205.  FIRM OFFERS.  An offer by a merchant to buy or sell goods in a signed writing which by its terms gives assurance that it will be held open is not revocable, for lack of consideration, during the time stated or if no time is stated for a reasonable time, but in no event may such period of irrevocability exceed three months;  but any such term of assurance on a form supplied by the offeree must be separately signed by the offeror.|Acts 1967, 60th Leg., p. 2343, ch. 785, Sec. 1, eff.

Sec. 2.206.  OFFER AND ACCEPTANCE IN FORMATION OF CONTRACT.  (a)  Unless otherwise unambiguously indicated by the language or circumstances(1)  an offer to make a contract shall be construed as inviting acceptance in any manner and by any medium reasonable in the circumstances;(2)  an order or other offer to buy goods for prompt or current shipment shall be construed as inviting acceptance either by a prompt promise to ship or by the prompt or current shipment of conforming or non-conforming goods, but such a shipment of non-conforming goods does not constitute an acceptance if the seller seasonably notifies the buyer that the shipment is offered only as an accommodation to the buyer.(b)  Where the beginning of a requested performance is a reasonable mode of acceptance an offeror who is not notified of acceptance within a reasonable time may treat the offer as having lapsed before acceptance.|Acts 1967, 60th Leg., p. 2343, ch. 785, Sec. 1, eff.

Sec. 2.207.  ADDITIONAL TERMS IN ACCEPTANCE OR CONFIRMATION.  (a)  A definite and seasonable expression of acceptance or a written confirmation which is sent within a reasonable time operates as an acceptance even though it states terms additional to or different from those offered or agreed upon, unless acceptance is expressly made conditional on assent to the additional or different terms.(b)  The additional terms are to be construed as proposals for addition to the contract.  Between merchants such terms become part of the contract unless:(1)  the offer expressly limits acceptance to the terms of the offer;(2)  they materially alter it;  or(3)  notification of objection to them has already been given or is given within a reasonable time after notice of them is received.(c)  Conduct by both parties which recognizes the existence of a contract is sufficient to establish a contract for sale although the writings of the parties do not otherwise establish a contract.  In such case the terms of the particular contract consist of those terms on which the writings of the parties agree, together with any supplementary terms incorporated under any other provisions of this title.|Acts 1967, 60th Leg., p. 2343, ch. 785, Sec. 1, eff.

Sec. 2.209.  MODIFICATION, RESCISSION AND WAIVER.  (a)  An agreement modifying a contract within this chapter needs no consideration to be binding.(b)  A signed agreement which excludes modification or rescission except by a signed writing cannot be otherwise modified or rescinded, but except as between merchants such a requirement on a form supplied by the merchant must be separately signed by the other party.(c)  The requirements of the statute of frauds section of this chapter (Section 2.201) must be satisfied if the contract as modified is within its provisions.(d)  Although an attempt at modification or rescission does not satisfy the requirements of Subsection (b) or (c) it can operate as a waiver.(e)  A party who has made a waiver affecting an executory portion of the contract may retract the waiver by reasonable notification received by the other party that strict performance will be required of any term waived, unless the retraction would be unjust in view of a material change of position in reliance on the waiver.|Acts 1967, 60th Leg., p. 2343, ch. 785, Sec. 1, eff.

TX Bus & Com Code § 2.210 (2021)
2021 Texas Statutes|Business and Commerce Code|Title 1 - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 2 - Sales|Subchapter B. Form, Formation and Readjustment of Contract|Section 2.210. Delegation of Performance; Assignment of Rights

Sec. 2.210.  DELEGATION OF PERFORMANCE;  ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS.  (a)  A party may perform his duty through a delegate unless otherwise agreed or unless the other party has a substantial interest in having his original promisor perform or control the acts required by the contract.  No delegation of performance relieves the party delegating of any duty to perform or any liability for breach.(b)  Unless otherwise agreed all rights of either seller or buyer can be assigned except where the assignment would materially change the duty of the other party, or increase materially the burden or risk imposed on him by his contract, or impair materially his chance of obtaining return performance.  A right to damages for breach of the whole contract or a right arising out of the assignor's due performance of his entire obligation can be assigned despite agreement otherwise.(c)  The creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in the seller's interest under a contract is not a transfer that materially changes the duty of or increases materially the burden or risk imposed on the buyer or impairs materially the buyer's chance of obtaining return performance within the purview of Subsection (b) unless, and then only to the extent that, enforcement actually results in a delegation of material performance of the seller.  Even in that event, the creation, attachment, perfection, and enforcement of the security interest remain effective, but (i) the seller is liable to the buyer for damages caused by the delegation to the extent that the damages could not reasonably be prevented by the buyer, and (ii) a court having jurisdiction may grant other appropriate relief, including cancellation of the contract for sale or an injunction against enforcement of the security interest or consummation of the enforcement.(d)  Unless the circumstances indicate the contrary a prohibition of assignment of "the contract" is to be construed as barring only the delegation to the assignee of the assignor's performance.(e)  An assignment of "the contract" or of "all my rights under the contract" or an assignment in similar general terms is an assignment of rights and unless the language or the circumstances (as in an assignment for security) indicate the contrary, it is a delegation of performance of the duties of the assignor and its acceptance by the assignee constitutes a promise by him to perform those duties.  This promise is enforceable by either the assignor or the other party to the original contract.(f)  The other party may treat any assignment which delegates performance as creating reasonable grounds for insecurity and may without prejudice to his rights against the assignor demand assurances from the assignee (Section 2.609).|Acts 1967, 60th Leg., p. 2343, ch. 785, Sec. 1, eff.

(a)  If the court as a matter of law finds the contract or any clause of the contract to have been unconscionable at the time it was made the court may refuse to enforce the contract, or it may enforce the remainder of the contract without the unconscionable clause, or it may so limit the application of any unconscionable clause as to avoid any unconscionable result.(b)  When it is claimed or appears to the court that the contract or any clause thereof may be unconscionable the parties shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to present evidence as to its commercial setting, purpose and effect to aid the court in making the determination.|Acts 1967, 60th Leg., p. 2343, ch. 785, Sec. 1, eff.

If it is payable in whole or in part in goods each party is a seller of the goods which he is to transfer.(b)  Even though all or part of the price is payable in an interest in realty the transfer of the goods and the seller's obligations with reference to them are subject to this chapter, but not the transfer of the interest in realty or the transferor's obligations in connection therewith.|Acts 1967, 60th Leg., p. 2343, ch. 785, Sec. 1, eff.

Sec. 2.305.  OPEN PRICE TERM.  (a)  The parties if they so intend can conclude a contract for sale even though the price is not settled.  In such a case the price is a reasonable price at the time for delivery if(1)  nothing is said as to price;  or(2)  the price is left to be agreed by the parties and they fail to agree;  or(3)  the price is to be fixed in terms of some agreed market or other standard as set or recorded by a third person or agency and it is not so set or recorded.(b)  A price to be fixed by the seller or by the buyer means a price for him to fix in good faith.(c)  When a price left to be fixed otherwise than by agreement of the parties fails to be fixed through fault of one party the other may at his option treat the contract as cancelled or himself fix a reasonable price.(d)  Where, however, the parties intend not to be bound unless the price be fixed or agreed and it is not fixed or agreed there is no contract.  In such a case the buyer must return any goods already received or if unable so to do must pay their reasonable value at the time of delivery and the seller must return any portion of the price paid on account.|Acts 1967, 60th Leg., p. 2343, ch. 785, Sec. 1, eff.
