The Legal Battle Between Jerry Jones and his Alleged Daughter

A civil case between Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, a woman claiming to be his daughter, and her mother is making headlines as it heads towards a jury trial. The case revolves around a settlement agreement that Jones claims the two women violated. The judge has ruled that this agreement, signed in 1998, is a valid contract.

The two women, Alexandra Davis and her mother Cynthia Davis-Spencer, entered into the agreement with Jones in 1998. According to the contract, Davis was prohibited from suing Jones to establish paternity and was required to keep the details of their agreement confidential.

Jones alleges that this contract was breached when Davis filed a defamation suit against him, claiming he portrayed her as an extortionist seeking money from the Jones family. The case was dismissed by a judge in March.

Despite arguments from the Davises that the agreement was not valid, the court upheld its validity, stating that Jones and both women had abided by its terms for over 20 years. The document also notes that Texas law allows parents to enter into agreements on behalf of their children before they turn 18.

The case also raises questions about Alexandra Davis’ ratification of the contract upon turning 18, with conflicting evidence presented by both sides. Jones argues that Davis accepted payments under the contract after becoming an adult, indicating her acceptance of its terms.

The dispute escalates with allegations from both sides regarding breaches of the contract. Jones claims Cynthia Davis breached the contract first by seeking legal advice and disclosing details, while Davis argues Jones breached the contract by revealing their relationship in an affidavit.

The legal battle continues to unfold, with both parties presenting their arguments before a jury. WFAA has reached out to attorneys for comment but has not received a response.
