Texas Business Court to Consider Stars’ Bid to End Dispute with Mavs

Judge Bill Whitehill heard arguments Friday afternoon in one of the most-watched cases before the Texas Business Court, the dispute between the Dallas Mavericks and the Dallas Stars over their contract with American Airlines Center, where the two professional sports franchises play.

Late last year, the Dallas Mavericks sued the Dallas Stars seeking to enforce the terms of partnership contracts the teams signed nearly 25 years ago. The Mavericks claim the Stars breached their American Airlines Center lease by having their primary headquarters outside Dallas city limits.
