2022“In a substantial performance claim, the contractor must prove three elements to prevail: its substantial performance, the amount unpaid under the contract, and ‘the cost of remedying the defects due to his errors or omissions.’” Id., quoting Vance v. My Apartment Steak House of San Antonio, Inc., 677 S.W.2d 480, 483 (Tex. 1984). 9 But for much the same reasons already noted, the record does not support Nelson’s claim of substantial performance.

2011Atkinson , 270 S.W. at 851 . “[W]hen a breaching [party] brings suit to recover for his substantial performance and the owner alleges remediable defects in the construction, the [party] is required to prove that he did substantially perform, the consideration due him under the contract, and the cost of remedying the defects due to his errors or omissions.” Vance , 677 S.W.2d at 483 .
