That's a good question. First, it's worth noting that a contract need not be in writing in order to be binding - even a contract that's made verbally or only implied could be binding if offer, acceptance, and consideration were all present. Further, in many situations, emails or even text messages may be considered a binding contract - but that's extremely dependent on the circumstances, the type of contract purportedly being entered into, and text of the messages themselves.

So, text messages could form a binding contract - but they won't in all situations. For the most clarity, consulting with a local construction attorney and having them review the communications and documentation will go a long way. They'll be able to assess the circumstances and advise on whether a contract has been performed as well as how to proceed in your situation.

I completely agree with the point, and second with is being stated here about what happens if there is breachment of a contract and what one should expect. Though it is time-consuming and costs some bucks, but with the service of https://www.pinlongmachinery.com/products/detail/cardboard-box-flexographic-printing-and-making-machine.html it is one of the best ways to avoid such contract issues. People should have info about it.
