Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will indeed have to appear in court as the plaintiff in paternity case
Jerry Jones and his fight to disprove Alexandra Davis as his daughter rage on. As a result, the Dallas Cowboys owner may have to appear in court to defend himself.
Starting from July 22, Jones would try to prove that Alexandra Davis and her mother, Cynthia Davis Spencer, breached a contract set in 1998 that read that he would not have to testify about paternity. However, recent Texas court rulings suggest that the veteran has no other choice but to appear in front of the jury.
In March, Jones’ attorney argued that both Davis violated that agreement by filing a defamation suit. Davis reportedly had no other option left after the 81-year-old allegedly tried to falsely paint her as an ‘extortionist.’ The judge eventually dismissed the case.

Jones’ attorney perhaps tried to keep him away from appearing in the courtroom again within the span of just a couple of months. The last time he faced the jury was during the Sunday ticket trial in June. The testimony resulted in a $4.7 billion verdict, which could rise to $14 billion against the NFL.
Unfortunately, staying away from the court is no longer an option, according to Pro Football Talk, because Davis filed a subpoena against Jerry Jones. For the time being, he can’t avoid this summons and has to testify.
According to the court documents, both Davis argued that the agreement wasn’t a valid contract. They pointed out Jones’ inability to recall the details of the agreement because he wasn’t the one who presented it to them. It was only a few years ago that Jones found out about the details.

They claimed that the contract was void because not allowing a child to establish paternity violates Texas’ public policy. However, the document did not provide any language that cited Texas public policy.
The case became complicated because both parties accused each other of breaching the contract. Jones claimed Alexandra Davis breached the contract when she revealed the details to an attorney to seek legal advice in 2021. Davis, on the other hand, asserted that it was Jones who first breached it when he disclosed the details in an affidavit back in 2019.
