FAQ
Texas appellate courts have defined a cause of action as a plaintiff's primary right to relief and the defendant's act or omission that violates that right.
A declaratory judgment is “a binding adjudication that establishes the rights and other legal relations of the parties without providing for or ordering enforcement.” (Black Law Dictionary, 11th ed.)
For example, a declaratory judgment action could be brought to determine party rights and obligations under a contract or to establish the validity of a patent . Under Article III of the U.S. Constitution , a federal court may only issue a declaratory judgment when there is an actual controversy .
(4) "Harassing behavior" means conduct by the defendant directed specifically toward the claimant, including following the claimant, that is reasonably likely to harass, annoy, alarm, abuse, torment, or embarrass the claimant.
Another common cause of action under Texas law in commercial litigation is declaratory judgment.
To bring a claim for declaratory judgment in a situation where a patent dispute may exist or develop, the claimant must establish that an actual controversy exists. If there is a substantial controversy of sufficient immediacy and reality, the court will generally proceed with the declaratory-judgment action.

It may sometimes be necessary to get a declaratory judgment to clear the air regarding policy-related issues. A party typically files a petition or complaint with the court to obtain a declaratory judgment, asking for a declaration or ruling on the specific legal issue in question.
A plaintiff seeking declaratory relief must show that there is an actual controversy even though declaratory relief will not order enforceable action against the defendant. An actual controversy means there is a connection between the challenged conduct and injury, and redressability that the court could order.
An example of a declaratory judgment in an insurance situation may occur when a policyholder and an insurer disagree about whether a particular claim is covered under the insurance policy. For instance, suppose a homeowner files a claim with their insurance company for damages to their home caused by a storm.
