Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Texas

Landlord responsibility for General Contractor

The General Contractor I hired to finish out my store did not come close to meeting his assurances of when the job would be completed, which resulted in my store still not being open., which has caused me very serious financial problems.

After I accepted the terms of the proposed lease through e-mail, and sending in my Letter of Intent, the Landlord's agent sent me an e-mail. In this e-mail he provided me the names and phone numbers of 2 General Contractors whom he said ''I need to talk to.'' He then said to meet with both, but as the Landlord's Agent, he can't recommend any contractor, so to meet with others, as well.

I did hire one of the 2 General Contractors that my Landlord's Agent specifically told me that I should meet with. As I stated above, this General Contractor was the direct cause for my store being nowhere even near ready when it was supposed to be, per his assurance.

My question is this... does my Landlord have any responsibility for the situation I'm now in?
