Texas is the only state that exercises sovereign immunity on contracts
Sovereign immunity is really appealing to third world dictators. ... the only state, the only state that exercises sovereign immunity on contracts is Texas. ... every state in the country eliminated exercising sovereign immunity on contracts, except for Texas does it to this day. ... And North Korea, I mean, sovereign immunity is a big deal with North Korea, Somalia. And that, you know, that's the company that's being kept if you exercise sovereign immunity on contracts.
While several states have forms of sovereign immunity, Leach's specific claim about its application to breach of contract in Texas is a central point of his long-running legal dispute with Texas Tech.
