Legal Question in Business Law in Texas

Can a business be held to act in the future, as it acted in the past. This regards a partnership. WE had a 50/50 partnership and he brought in another person and cut me out without telling me. It was not a written agreement. The withholding of my proceeds started in September and the partnership ended in November. I continued to act as a 50/50 partner by managing the projects. I think he is bound to split all proceeds 50/50 with me until the partnership ended.

Based on what you have written, there are a few questions which would require answers to before any clear suggestion could be provided to you. First, when did you and your partner begin doing business? Second, what type of business did you and your partner do? Third, did you and your partner file the appropriate tax documents jointly? Fourth, how is the business organized (e.g., dbd, llc, inc.)? Fifth, how many employees did the business have other than you and your partner? These are just some of the questions which require answers. You should consider consulting with a local law firm to ensure that your rights and interests are protected.
