Reasons for Contract Termination

  • Termination for Cause
     happens as a result of a performing entity's non-performance or non-compliance with the contract;
  • Termination for Convenience
     is a convenience termination when a party, for a reason of its own, terminates the contract unilaterally. TxDOT contracts allow only for TxDOT to terminate for convenience; or
  • Termination for Department Reasons
     is done without the agreement of the provider.
When both parties agree, a contract amendment is used to terminate an agreement.
