Cy-Fair resident sues over musical production

A Cy-Fair resident is suing after paying a Houston resident $27,500 to promote a musical production.

Cy-Fair resident Jerrel Richards filed a lawsuit on March 11 in the Harris County District Court against Corey Williams, alleging breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, fraud and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Richards says that on Oct. 18, 2010, he paid Williams $27,500 to promote a musical production, during the week of the 2011 NFL Super Bowl game in Dallas and the week of the 2011 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles. According to the brief, Williams did not produce either event and has not returned Richards’ $27,500.   

Richards is seeking damages in the amount of $250,000, attorney’s fees and court costs. He is being represented in the case by Houston attorney Mark McDonald.
