Settling Civil Suits Privately

Summary

In Texas and Mississippi, parties in civil suits can settle privately with non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to maintain confidentiality. However, NDAs cannot prevent the disclosure of evidence required by law or court orders, particularly in criminal matters. Even if no criminal case is pending, NDAs cannot conceal evidence of criminal violations if legally obligated to disclose. Legal obligations in Texas require disclosure of evidence requested by court orders, relevant to criminal investigations, or affecting public safety.
